Abstract
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) application in clinical practice requires the implementation of molecular tumor boards (MTBs). Starting from a systematic review of literature, we discuss the MTB-related key points: MTB aims and composition, types of tumors to discuss, types of molecular analyses, methods for classifying actionability, appropriate turnaround time, and cost management.Entities:
