title: Cancer patients' perspectives on multidisciplinary team working: an exploratory focus group study.
abstract: This qualitative, focus-group study explores what patients understand about the multidisciplinary team (MDT) in cancer care. Participants were positive towards MDT working, and by strengthening the role of nurses in MDT decision-making, the representation of patients' interests can be improved.
