Psychosocial

Psychosocial

As AYAs transition from childhood or adulthood the normal concerns they may have – development of body image, dating, separating from parents, career and education decisions – are compounded when they are faced with cancer.  Read about the psychosocial support needed by AYAs.
Palliative Care

Palliative Care

Due to the unique psychosocial issues that affect the AYAs there exists a special subgroup of palliative care used to provide pain and symptom control.  Find featured research that assesses the use of palliative medicine for AYAs.
