AYA Cancer Program
Being a teenager is hard enough, but a life-threatening illness introduces a complex set of obstacles that younger children and older adults rarely face. The Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) cancer program is specifically designed to improve outcomes for patients ages 15 to 39 by addressing these unique psychosocial and clinical gaps. This program focuses on improving clinical outcomes through standardized care, increased clinical trial participation and helping patients navigate a medical system that often feels split between pediatric and adult providers. Beyond medical treatment, the program focuses on the emotional and social hurdles that define this stage of life.
