Abstract
Open AccessHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains one of the most common malignancies worldwide. Its high aggressiveness and complex pathophysiology contribute to diverse but often suboptimal treatment outcomes. The Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) integrates expertise from various specialties to provide personalized and optimal treatment strategies for individual patients. However, conventional MDT face limitations related to logistics, consensus-building, and patient communication. This review aims to discuss the current status and challenges of MDT in liver cancer management and explore emerging innovative technologies that can transcend the conventional model.
