Abstract

There is growing support for the use of physics to study problems in cancer biology on a mechanistic and translational level. I am pleased to see multidisciplinary and translational efforts supported in the United States by the PS-OC program, which funds U.S. researchers conducting this work. I am also encouraged by the APHELION study, which reports on research into physical sciences applied to cancer research and treatment in Europe and Asia.
