Summary This book presents an Assessment of Physical Sciences and Engineering Advances in Life Sciences and Oncology (APHELION) by a panel of experts. It covers the status and trends of applying physical sciences and engineering principles to oncology research in leading laboratories and organizations in Europe and Asia. The book elaborates on the℗ℓsix topics identified by the panel℗ℓthat have the greatest potential to advance understanding and treatment of cancer, each covered by a chapter in the book.℗ℓThe study was sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the National Institute of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering at the NIH℗ℓin the US under a cooperative agreement with the World Technology Evaluation Center (WTEC).
