Tumors of the CNS are the most common solid tumors diagnosed in childhood. As technology and research in cancer care are advancing, more specialties are involved in the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of children with brain tumors. Multidisciplinary clinics have become the standard of care for cancer care throughout the USA, and specialty clinics focused on particular cancer types are gaining attention in improving the patient outcomes and satisfaction. We will discuss the role of multidisciplinary clinics, in an attempt to create preliminary guidelines on establishing and maintaining a multidisciplinary brain tumor clinic in order to optimize the care of the patients and their families.
中枢神经系统肿瘤是儿童期诊断出的最常见实体瘤。随着癌症治疗技术和研究的不断进步，越来越多的专业领域参与到脑肿瘤患儿的诊断、治疗及随访中。多学科诊所已成为美国癌症治疗的标准照护模式，专注于特定癌症类型的专科诊所正日益受到关注，以改善患者的治疗效果和满意度。我们将探讨多学科诊所的作用，试图制定关于建立和维持多学科脑肿瘤诊所的初步指南，以便优化对患者及其家庭的照护。
