Abstract
Multidisciplinary Team Meetings (MDTMs) are pivotal for optimizing cancer care through collaborative decision-making. In Western Algeria, electronic MDTMs (e-MDTMs) for thyroid and urological cancers, initiated in 2017, enhance care coordination at Oran University Hospital (EHUO). This article details the development, deployment, and challenges of the e-MDTM platform, which supports patient record management, meeting scheduling, and data analysis. Despite COVID-19 disruptions, the pilot phase resumed in 2024, with full implementation planned for 2025. Challenges include infrastructure limitations, funding dependency, and training needs. The e-MDTM improves decision-making and offers potential for research and expanded cancer care.
