Abstract

Introduction: The interdisciplinary model in the oncological field has permitted connection between different disciplines, allowing to offer solutions for raising the quality of life of patients and provide excellent care.

Objective: To explore the scientific evidence on interdisciplinary collaboration in the treatment of colon cancer.

Methods: A systematic research was carried out. A digital search was carried out in the Web of Science, Lilacs, SciELO, Latindex, Elsevier, PubMed, Medline and Google databases, in view of identifying updated publications in English and Spanish.

Development: The interdisciplinary approach in the treatment of oncologic diseases, including colon cancer, has been described for some time. The design allows connecting different specialties during interconsultation or the surgical act itself, which results in the formulation of research problems that require, for their solution, the exchange of knowledge and technologies from one specialty to another, allowing to offer solutions for raising the quality of life of patients and provide excellent care.

Conclusions: Cancer is a disease that requires care for the patient, not only within the biological sphere, but also in the psychological, social and spiritual aspect. Interdisciplinary teams, made up of professionals from different disciplines, are a tool that can help, to a great extent, achieve better care.

Keywords: interdisciplinarity; colon cancer; multidisciplinarity.
