Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Resources

Adolescents and young adults (AYAs), defined as individuals aged 15 to 39 years at the time of diagnosis, often face a complex and isolating experience when diagnosed with cancer. Many encounter delays in diagnosis, limited access to fertility preservation, gaps in psychosocial support, and fragmented transitions between pediatric and adult care. These challenges can have lasting effects on their physical health, emotional well-being, and future life planning. Despite these unique needs, adolescent and young adult patients often fall into a gap in cancer care systems—too old for pediatric models, yet not fully supported by adult oncology protocols.
