Abstract

During decades of cancer research, different disciplines have made important contributions to the development of our knowledge about cancer. Identification of complex problems not being solved using a single discipline has directed scientists toward interdisciplinary approaches. Cancer is a complex problem that, regardless of great advances in different scientific fields, remains to be properly addressed. Early diagnosis, personalized treatment, minimum treatment side effects, optimal treatment outcomes, and effective preventive measures can be achievable by adopting interdisciplinary approaches in cancer research. This chapter is an interdisciplinary collaboration of scientists from different fields of science, in which the contribution of different disciplines to cancer research is reviewed. In addition, the framework of cancer research in 2050 is depicted as a guide for future research.
