3.3 Profile of MDTBs among PSTUs in Southeast Asia
Among the 24 PSTUs with MDTBs, oncologists, surgeons and radiologists were the most consistent attendees (Fig 2A). PSTUs most commonly conducted MDTBs once in a month (11 PSTUs (45.8%)) (Fig 2A). The resources most commonly unavailable were facilities to view pathology slides before meeting and project them during the meeting (Fig 2B). Notably, 16 (37.2%) respondents reported that there was either no allocated time limit for the meeting or were unsure if this was defined for their MDTB; 13 (30.2%) reported that there was either no designated MDTB coordinator or were unsure (Fig 2B).
