Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients, those who are diagnosed with cancer for the first time at the age of 15–39 years, are recognized as a distinct population within the oncology community due to the unique challenges that they face throughout their disease trajectory. This Special Issue focuses on all aspects of AYA cancer oncology: epidemiology, diagnostic trajectory, medical treatment, palliative care, medical and psychological long-term and late effects, health-related quality of life, and (psychological) interventions.
