Multidisciplinary tumor boards (MTBs) have become commonplace. The use, attendance, and function of MTBs need continued assessment and improvement. ⋯ MTBs enhance the multidisciplinary management of patients with cancer.

Increasing the contributions of surgeons to MTBs should include bringing more of their own cases for discussion.
