How to organize a multidisciplinary clinic for the management of breast cancer.
It is the opinion of this essayist that the advantages to the patient and the clinician of a multidisciplinary clinic far outweight the modest loss of autonomy and the need for commitment of additional time in order to make such a clinic function effectively. It is hoped that the success of this issue of the Surgical Clinics of North America and the serious application of the principles outlined in it will encourage the creation of many such successful clinics.
