To progress in cancer treatment needs the more scientific approach as possible. Setting dialog between different specialists had allowed better therapeutic results with less side-effects. This discussion is called multidisciplinary discussion.
Taking all the practical measures to insure a real multidisciplinary discussion about each patient is an ethical obligation for every physician treating cancer patients.
Studying the usual history of locally treated cancers leads to understanding why a multidisciplinary approach is essential since the beginning of treatment.
