The National Academies' National Cancer Policy Forum convened a workshop in May 2025 to explore the emerging field of cancer engineering and its potential to improve patient outcomes through the convergence of engineering with cancer research, care, and policy. Participants - including experts from academia, government, industry, and patients - discussed how engineering innovations can accelerate cancer research, advance early detection and diagnosis methods, and improve access and affordability of cancer care for all. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions of the workshop.
