Adolescent and Young-Adult Oncology (Advances in the Management of Oncology, Stem Cell- and Solid Organ-Transplant Patients)

Adolescent and young adults are a distinct patient population within oncology, and they have different needs from other cancer patients. Oncology research and clinical agendas are not always designed to focus on the unique biological, clinical, psychosocial, and survivorship issues of the adolescent and young adult. This presentation will address adolescent and young-adult cancer care through interdisciplinary research, education, communication, and collaboration among health professionals.
