The science of oncology has a multidisciplinary structure and involves many branches of science. Therefore, the treatment and follow-up of cancer must, without a doubt, be undertaken with the multidisciplinary method; that is to say, with the collaboration of related branches.

Why is the multidisciplinary approach important?

The most effective solutions in the treatment of cancer are obtained under a multidisciplinary approach because oncology is an area that requires the collaboration and codecision of many branches of science. The consultation of physicians in different branches is extremely important in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and requires close teamwork. In multidisciplinary structures, specialists in different branches come together, reach a joint decision and share the responsibility. As a result, centers working under a multidisciplinary structure obtain more successful results in the treatment and follow-up of cancer that is in the field of oncology.
