At St Vincent's, the Cancer Tumour Streams hold regular multidisciplinary meetings (MDM) as part of the multidisciplinary care provided for our patients.
Multidisciplinary Cancer Care provides a collaborative approach to treatment planning and ongoing care throughout the treatment pathway. Multidisciplinary Cancer meetings ensure members of the treatment and care team can discuss all relevant aspects of a cancer patient’s physical and psychosocial needs along with other factors impacting upon the patient’s care.
The table below lists the cancer tumour streams, their meeting times, how often they meet and the meeting coordinator.
