Why MDT Matters

Complex cancer treatment requires coordinated input from surgery, medical oncology, radiation oncology, pathology, and radiology. Shanghai's top hospitals run formal MDT clinics where patients see all relevant specialists in one visit, receiving a unified treatment plan rather than fragmented opinions.

Leading MDT Programs

  • FUSCC — Disease-specific MDT clinics: pancreatic cancer (led by Prof. Yu Xianjun), breast, lung, GI, lymphoma; MDT is the default for complex cases.
  • Zhongshan Hospital — Liver cancer MDT (surgery + interventional + TCM + radiation); colorectal MDT (Prof. Xu Jianmin).
  • Ruijin Hospital — Pancreatic cancer MDT (Prof. Shen Baiyong); gastrointestinal MDT; hematology MDT.
  • Shanghai Chest Hospital — Lung and esophageal MDT with thoracic surgery + oncology + radiation.
  • Shanghai Eastern Hospital — Colorectal MDT (Prof. Song Chun).
  • How MDT Works

  • Patient submits complete records (imaging, pathology, prior treatment) in advance
  • MDT team reviews case before patient arrives
  • 30-60 minute joint consultation with all specialists present
  • Unified written treatment recommendation issued same day
  • Patient can then proceed with treatment at that hospital or take the plan home
  • For International Patients
