Multidisciplinary programs include laboratory scientists, clinical investigators, providers of patient care, epidemiologists, and sociobehavioral scientists. Collaboration across disciplines ensures that insights gained in the lab can move quickly and effectively to cancer patients' bedsides and to cancer prevention and control programs.
