Multi-disciplinary team (MDT) is increasingly applied in oncology and refractory diseases. In recent years, MDT has also been applied in diagnosis and treatment of pituitary adenoma and related diseases. This review summarizes the advantages and characteristics of the MDT diagnosis and treatment mode, and analyzes the application and effect of the MDT diagnosis and treatment mode in the Center of Pituitary Adenoma and Related Diseases, West China Hospital, Sichuan University. So far, it has shown that MDT has advantages such as it is professional, full of collaborative interaction, and efficient and optimized. It is a platform of multi-disciplinary cooperation and resources in the diagnosis and treatment of difficult diseases. Case discussion in MDT mode is conducive to timely selection of the best treatment options for patients with pituitary adenoma and related diseases, providing a good learning platform for doctors with different professional backgrounds, and promoting the improvement of professional diagnosis and treatment level of doctors in related departments. The development of MDT will help us to use limited medical resources efficiently, promote the medical team to be more specialized, optimize the diagnosis and treatment process, and improve the effectiveness of the treatment, for benefiting more patients with pituitary adenomas and related diseases.
