Figure 4: Techniques for studying nervous system-cancer interactions.
Methodologies to study nervous system-cancer interactions can be broadly categorized into four dimensions that encompass the functional, structural and molecular characterization as well as the material or model system that is studied. Furthermore, techniques crossing these modalities are mentioned here at the intersections. Methods shown in light grey are methodologies that have not yet been applied to Cancer Neuroscience studies but are of potential future use.
