Improving survival rates for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer
SeventyK created the Stop A Doc campaign to give patients an empowered way to engage with their doctors while providing a set of guideposts for healthcare professionals treating adolescents and young adults (AYAs). An extensive survey of AYA patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals resulted in five questions that every healthcare professional should be asked before they treat a 15 to 39 year old cancer patient. These questions ensure that healthcare professionals are aware of the unique needs and can provide resources and support to AYA patients. Patients, join the campaign to “Stop A Doc” and make sure your doc can answer yes to all five questions. Healthcare professionals, help improve the survival rates of AYAs with cancer by partaking in our campaign.
The Stop A Doc contest awarded prizes to patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals who creatively conveyed the Stop A Doc message. Winners were announced and cash prizes were awarded. Get ready to be creative, the Stop A Doc contest is returning. Check out last year’s winners here.
