2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) - ePosters-EP.17F.02 Three-Stage Evolution of Lung Cancer Multidisciplinary Team in China

Pdf Summary

The document outlines the evolution of the Lung Cancer Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) management in China across four stages, highlighting the transition towards a collaborative, personalized, and intelligent healthcare system. The stages indicate a progression from in-hospital to inter-hospital within provinces, and finally across the country. <br /><br />**Stage 1.0** focuses on in-hospital MDT meetings with participation mainly restricted to the hospital's internal healthcare professionals. It includes the publication of books for educational dissemination and application of evidence-based thinking for complex lung cancer cases.<br /><br />**Stage 2.0** sees the expansion to inter-hospital within provinces, with limited online access offered to healthcare professionals (HCPs) from other hospitals. There’s an emphasis on academic exchanges to discuss recent advances in lung cancer treatment.<br /><br />**Stage 3.0** involves nationwide inter-hospital collaborations with no restrictions on access, allowing participation from HCPs and patients. This stage includes comprehensive digital integration, like livestreaming, that facilitates a broader reach and deeper discussions on complex national cases with expert feedback.<br /><br />The addition of Stage 4.0 represents an international collaboration, harnessing international expertise for the management of MDT processes and complex case discussions.<br /><br />The document emphasizes the significant educational value and accessibility improvements achieved at each stage, positioning China's lung cancer MDT framework as a scalable paradigm for other regions with high patient volumes and uneven medical resources. Through collaborative efforts by leading Chinese lung cancer centers and in-depth research methods, including interviews and questionnaires, the study provides insights and references for hospitals developing similar MDT frameworks.
