This chapter explores some issues surrounding multidisciplinary care and considers the future development of high-quality services for cancer patients. Multidisciplinary care has focused on the multidisciplinary team (MDT) and their functioning in a multidisciplinary meeting (MDM). The key benefits of multidisciplinary care for people with cancer hinge around team working to provide a rounded and coordinated approach to diagnosis, treatment, continuing care and survivorship. The primary aim of multidisciplinary care is to improve the diagnosis and treatment for individual patients. The role of the nurse as patient advocate has developed within the cancer MDT, with nurses participating in treatment decisions and negotiating the cancer experience. Considering the needs of the woman regarding fertility, sexual function and sexuality, hormonal function and psychological wellbeing is an essential part of high-quality health care. The MDT can help, guide and protect the cancer patient on the journey for survival.
