Adolescent and young adult (AYA) programmes

Adolescent and young adult (AYA) programmes

Adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancers are cancers that occur in people aged 15 to 39 years1 (see this video for more information). These cancers present their survivors with unique challenges, such as long-term side effects and even late side effects.1 Here, Lorraine and Gene Sacco talk about comprehensive AYA programmes.

Lorraine A. Sacco and Gene Sacco are the founders and directors of Reid's Ride and the Reid R. Sacco AYA Cancer Alliance.
