The team comprises doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals who manage the treatment of breast cancers in Oxfordshire.
The MDT meetings offer a forum for the team members to plan and agree a recommended programme of treatment specific to individual patient needs. The team meets every Wednesday for the main breast MDT to discuss, in confidence, newly referred patients with a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer. An additional screening MDT runs every Friday. A specific metastatic MDT runs on alternate Wednesdays. Oncoplastic MDTs are run monthly.
This approach ensures that all necessary investigations are carried out as quickly as possible and the best available treatment is offered. Treatment options are then discussed with the patient and their family at a subsequent appointment, which is often later that week.
The Breast Cancer MDT links with all those engaged in breast cancer care within the community and primary care and offers specialist advice to other breast cancer specialists within the Thames Valley Cancer Network when requested.
