The Physics of Cancer Metastasis Meeting to be held in Arlington, VA on Nov. 1-2, 2010 will discuss the prospects for defining a set of short term (3-5 year) projects, which could be successful in leading the way to deeper understanding of the fundamentals of the metastatic process and possibly to radical new treatment ideas. The discussion will be held between leading cancer researchers and leading physicists working at the interface of biology and physics. The physics community working at the physics-biology interface is excited by the possibility of contributing to the fundamental understanding of cancer, which is a failure of multi-cellularity, but is also an essential byproduct of evolution. The meeting is sponsored by the Physics Division at NSF.

将于2010年11月1-2日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行的癌症转移物理学会议将讨论定义一系列短期（3-5年）项目的前景，这些项目可能成功地引导人们更深入地了解转移过程的基本原理，并可能产生根本性的新治疗想法。讨论将在领先的癌症研究人员和从事生物学和物理学接口工作的领先物理学家之间进行。在物理学-生物学界面工作的物理学界对有助于对癌症的基本理解的可能性感到兴奋，癌症是多细胞的失败，但也是进化的重要副产品。这次会议是由美国国家科学基金会物理部主办的。
