Adolescents and young adults (AYA) living with cancer have unique medical and psychosocial needs. The recognition of these needs has created a new field of study in practice in the oncology world. As such many institutions are developing multidisciplinary teams to address AYA needs. However, you don't need a huge budget or a new program to make an impact with this age group. We will establish the age-specific needs of this group and discuss some simple changes to make in your day to day practice that will help you meet your AYA patients' needs.
