Adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of cancer have diverse psychosocial and medical needs, including those related to fertility and sexual health. Much of the focus of care around issues such as fertility and sexual health tends to be filtered through a biomedical lens. However, it is essential that health care providers assess and support AYA survivors using a biopsychosocial and contextual framework to ensure the most comprehensive and accurate understanding of AYA survivor needs, especially those related to psychosexual health. A trusting relationship between the multi-disciplinary medical team and the AYA survivor that allows for open discussion about the physical and psychosocial components of sexual health is key to providing best care and outcomes.
青少年及年轻成人癌症幸存者有多种心理社会和医疗需求，包括与生育和性健康相关的需求。围绕生育和性健康等问题的护理重点大多通过生物医学视角来审视。然而，医疗服务提供者必须使用生物心理社会和情境框架来评估和支持青少年及年轻成人癌症幸存者，以确保最全面、准确地理解他们的需求，尤其是与性心理健康相关的需求。多学科医疗团队与青少年及年轻成人癌症幸存者之间的信任关系，能让双方就性健康的身体和心理社会层面进行坦诚讨论，这是提供最佳护理和取得良好结果的关键。
