Cancer in the adolescent and young adult phase poses additional challenges to this period of development that is crucial to the transition to independence. This report provides a brief review of normal developmental milestones in this age range while highlighting the disruptive effects of cancer. We focus on the psychological burden of cancer in patients aged 15-39 years and explore the application of the total pain model to highlight the psychological/emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of non-physical pain. We also briefly review posttraumatic growth and resilience. Lastly, we provide a review of areas for possible development and future research.
青少年和青年期的癌症给这一发展阶段带来了额外挑战，而该阶段对于向独立过渡至关重要。本报告简要回顾了这一年龄段的正常发育里程碑，同时强调了癌症的破坏作用。我们关注15至39岁患者癌症带来的心理负担，并探讨应用整体疼痛模型来突出非身体疼痛的心理/情感、社会和精神层面。我们还简要回顾了创伤后成长和复原力。最后，我们对可能的发展领域和未来研究进行了综述。
