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).
