Multidisciplinary Team Management of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in the MENA Region: Current Practices, Challenges, and Gaps
Our result highlights the pivotal role of MDTs in HCC management in the MENA region, demonstrating adherence to evidence-based guidelines and exposing critical gaps in resource availability, technology integration, and patient-centered decision-making. Strengthening MDTs through enhanced resource allocation, digital health adoption, and increased clinical trial participation is essential to improving HCC outcomes in the region.
