Abstract

Breast cancer is a common malignancy in women and is a systemic disease,so the best management of breast cancer patients requires the expertise of experts from different discines,which leads to the emergence of multidisciplinary teams(MDT).MDT members discuss the specific situation of patients,and together make clinical decision in diagnosis and treatment.This is more conducive to the development of individualized treatment programs.
