Adolescent and young adult (AYA) individuals with a history of cancer make up a fraction of the total number of cancer survivors in the United States, but they represent a population with needs distinct from either the childhood or the older adult cancer populations. Fertility concerns, psychosocial factors, and health care access are just a few of the distinguishing characteristics. Caring for AYA cancer survivors presents unique opportunities for primary care providers to collaborate with oncology colleagues to minimize the long-term cancer burden.
有癌症病史的青少年和青年(AYA)人群在美国癌症幸存者总数中占一定比例,但他们是一个有着与儿童或老年癌症人群不同需求的群体。生育问题、心理社会因素和医疗保健可及性只是其中一些显著特征。为AYA癌症幸存者提供护理为初级保健提供者与肿瘤学同事合作以尽量减轻长期癌症负担带来了独特机会。
