Paradigm shifts in understanding biological processes often occur when "novel" techniques from outside fields are openly adopted by the research community. This one-day workshop brought together experts in cancer biology and nanotechnology to discuss problems in the clinical and basic science of cancer which nano- and micro- fabrication may be uniquely suited to address. The day showcased advances in nanotechnologies that have enabled forward strides in cancer research and treatment, and highlighted the current challenges in cancer research that nanotechnology can begin to address.
