By incorporating the rehabilitation feedback from patients into the assessment and adding more professionals providing supportive care to the team, more comprehensive care can be achieved. To solve the current problems and continuously improve the effect of MDT in cancer treatment, it is very crucial to continuously conduct research, unify the best treatment norms, and invest sufficient training and resources (Selby et al., 2019; Scott, 2021). 7 Concluding Remarks The multidisciplinary team (MDT) model has become an important approach in modern cancer treatment. It enables doctors from different specialties to cooperate better, which can enhance the working efficiency of the entire medical system, make the treatment process smoother and the treatment plan more standardized. MDT can make medical services more closely and coherently connected, shorten the time from diagnosis to the start of treatment, and encourage doctors to treat diseases in accordance with scientific treatment guidelines. All these functions can help to use medical resources more rationally and improve the overall level of medical management. The implementation of MDT can also help form a systematic treatment approach and basic norms, promote the sharing of good experiences, and continuously improve the service quality of the entire medical system. The MDT diagnosis and treatment model has been proven many times to enable patients to recover better after treatment, such as improving survival rates, making diagnoses more accurate, and making patients more willing to follow the most suitable treatment plan. These effects can be observed in a variety of cancers, such as breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer and head and neck cancer, etc. In addition to the therapeutic effect, MDT will also provide all-round support, especially paying attention to the psychological state, dietary nutrition and rehabilitation needs of patients. This can improve the quality of life of patients and make them more satisfied. This form of cooperation can also enable patients and their families to be more involved in treatment decisions, making them more proactive and thus leading to better outcomes, such as reducing feelings of loneliness and helping them better cope with the disease. Looking ahead, as precision diagnosis and treatment, digital technology and patient-centered service models continue to advance, the role of MDT will be increasingly valued. Combining molecular testing, artificial intelligence and online MDT discussions can make the selection of treatment plans more based on evidence and enable more patients to receive more standardized and higher-quality medical services. Constantly conducting relevant research, collecting and analyzing feedback on patients' rehabilitation conditions for effect evaluation, is also conducive to continuously improving the practical work of MDT. As the medical system gradually improves, MDT will continue to play a significant role in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors, providing more high-quality, fair and individualized treatment, and better meeting patients' physical treatment needs as well as their psychological and social support requirements.
