    • Abstract:
      Understanding and enhancing support group participation among adolescent and young adult cancer survivors: the impact of integrating adolescent and young adult cancer navigation services. Keywords: cancer; quality of life; psycho-oncology; survivorship; young adult EN cancer quality of life psycho-oncology survivorship young adult 982 985 4 06/09/21 20210601 NES 210601 INTRODUCTION More than 80,000 young adults (YAs) in their 20s and 30s are diagnosed with cancer annually, and 5-year relative survival approximates 85%.1 YAs face challenges navigating the transition to independent adulthood while also transitioning from active cancer treatment to posttreatment survivorship (e.g., disruptions to reaching developmental milestones, biopsychosocial late effects of cancer).2-6 As a result, YAs report worse health-related quality of life (HRQOL) than cancer survivors in other age cohorts.6,7 Yet, YAs are underrepresented in survivorship research, and evidence-based interventions targeted to YAs are lacking.8,9 In order to maximally engage this underserved population, interventions must be developed in concordance with YAs' preferences. Key Points This study assessed young adult (YA) cancer survivors' preferences for supportive interventions to improve health-related quality of life (HRQOL). [Extracted from the article]
