This study aimed to analyze cancer pattern among adolescents and young adults (AYA) in a tertiary care center in South India.
A retrospective study was undertaken from January 2018 to December 2021 on AYA cancer patients (aged 15-39 years).
Totally, 369 cases of AYA cancers were identified for analyzing the frequency and pattern of cancer distribution. The most common cancers were breast cancer, thyroid cancer, and astrocytoma. All the cancers were more common in males than in females, except for breast, thyroid, gonadal cancers, and unspecified malignant neoplasms.
Cancer distribution patterns are distinct among AYA in terms of epidemiology and biology.
