The optimal care for patients with pituitary tumours is best provided in a multidisciplinary and collaborative environment, which requires the contribution of multiple medical specialties working together. The benefits and advantages of the pituitary multidisciplinary team (MDT) are broad, and all relevant international consensus and guidelines in the field recommend that patients with pituitary tumours should always be managed in a MDT. Endocrinologists and neurosurgeons are normally the leading specialties within the pituitary MDT, supported by many other specialties with significant contributions to the diagnosis and management of pituitary tumours, including neuropathology, neuroradiology, neuro-ophthalmology, and otorhinolaryngology, among others. Here, we review the literature concerning the concepts of Pituitary MDT/Pituitary Tumour Centre of Excellence (PTCOE) in terms of their mission, goals, benefits, structure, proposed models of function, and barriers, and we also provide the views of different specialists involved in our Pituitary MDT.
垂体肿瘤患者的最佳诊疗应在多学科协作环境中进行，这需要多个医学专业领域的共同参与。垂体多学科团队（MDT）的优势广泛，该领域所有相关的国际共识和指南均建议垂体肿瘤患者应始终在MDT模式下接受诊疗。内分泌科医生和神经外科医生通常是垂体MDT的核心专业，同时得到神经病理学、神经放射学、神经眼科学及耳鼻喉科学等多个专业的重要支持，这些专业在垂体肿瘤的诊断和治疗中发挥着关键作用。本文综述了关于垂体MDT/垂体肿瘤卓越中心（PTCOE）的文献，涵盖其使命、目标、优势、组织结构、建议运作模式及面临的挑战，并呈现了我们垂体MDT中不同专业专家的观点。
