ENT cancers of the face and neck have been the subject of several studies, particularly in Europe and the United States, within the framework of multidisciplinary management. A prospective study on the multidisciplinary approach to these cancers in our country (Algeria) seemed to us to be interesting to carry out in order to determine the impact of multidisciplinarity on the management of patients and on professional practices. Our multidisciplinary structure ensured the recruitment of patients (pre-established technical form), organized and ensured the proper functioning of the multidisciplinary consultation meetings (RCP) in order to provide these patients with the quality of MD care. The evaluation and discussion of the results concern, on the one hand, the functioning of the PCRs and their impact on professional practices and, on the other hand, the quality of MD care for patients in its epidemiological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects.
