To address cancer as a multifaceted adaptive system, the increasing momentum for cross-disciplinary connectivity between cancer biologists, physical scientists, mathematicians, chemists, biomedical engineers, computer scientists, clinicians, and advocates is fueling the emergence of new scientific frontiers, principles, and opportunities within physical sciences and oncology. In parallel to highlighting the advances, challenges, and acceptance of advocates as credible contributors, we offer recommendations for addressing real world hurdles in advancing equitable partnerships among advocacy stakeholders.
为了将癌症作为一个多层面的适应性系统来研究，癌症生物学家、物理科学家、数学家、化学家、生物医学工程师、计算机科学家、临床医生和倡导者之间跨学科联系的势头日益增强，这推动了物理科学和肿瘤学领域新科学前沿、原则和机遇的出现。在强调这些进展、挑战以及倡导者作为可信贡献者被认可的同时，我们还就解决倡导利益相关者之间推进公平伙伴关系的现实障碍提出了建议。
