Multidisciplinary treatment (MDT) is considered to be beneficial for patients undergoing complex treatments for cancer. The efforts of MDT led to the initiation of nowadays well known trials in gastroesophageal cancer treatment. Here we report the experience of MDT of the Center for Gastric Cancer of the National Cancer Center, Korea. We show the management not only of oncologic treatment plans but also treatment decisions on perioperative oncologic therapy and multimodal management of postoperative and various treatment-related complications. Six cases from gastroenterology, hemato-oncology and surgery parts were presented to show function and effect of MDT conference. Those examples typically showed that even final pathological diagnosis was chnged after MDT conference for some cases, gives adequate decision for further treatment after compications, and offered optimal treatment decision for difficult metastatic disease. Also, management of complications are now more effectively resolved with multidisciplinay intervention with close communication. The local MDT conference can be considered as a fast and effective tool for adequate treatment and improving quality of the treatment. Therefore MDT is an essential component of cancer care to improve patient’s outcome.
