Abstract
Thyroid carcinoma is the most common malignancy in the endocrine system. Most patients cannot be cured with operation alone. The concept and implementation of multidisciplinary team (MDT) in clinical oncology attributes to improved diagnosis and treatment of cancer. MDT plays an important role in diagnosis, treatment, and post operational management of thyroid carcinoma, as well as in the application of novel techniques and translational medicine. MDT can maximize the expertise of various disciplines, strengthen inter disciplinary cooperation, and provide standardized and individualized comprehensive treatment for patients with thyroid cancer. The most important benefit of MDT is that individual patient gets the most appropriate treatment decision made by a team of experts, including endocrinologists, nuclear medicine specialists, pathologists, radiologists, radiation therapists, and surgeons. This will be of great significance to improve quality of life and prognosis, at the same time, avoid over-treatment of thyroid cancer. Key words: Thyroid carcinoma; Multidisciplinary team
