The MDT approach to high-risk and major cancer surgery should adopt a holistic approach to the care and treatment of the patient in question. Instead of adopting a binary mindset, where a patient is declared ‘fit’ or ‘not fit’ for surgery, the MDT approach should be the centrepoint for the personalized care of each individual patient considered for surgery.
