Improving outcomes in urological cancers: the impact of "multidisciplinary team meetings".

Introduction: In order to improve the outcomes of urological cancers, guidelines published by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence encourage the management of cancer patients by specific Multi-Disciplinary Teams (MDTs) with discussion of cancer patients at MDT Meetings. The aim of this prospective study was to examine the changes in management resulting from review at MDT Meetings in our unit.

Methods: Over a six month period 124 cancer cases were discussed at 10 meetings.
