BACKGROUNDThe percentage of adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with cancer (those aged 15‐39 years) diagnosed at a distant stage of disease did not significantly change between 1975 and 2004. It has been hypothesized that a lack of health insurance may be a significant risk factor for a diagnosis of distant‐stage disease among AYA patients, but to the authors' knowledge this has not been examined...
Gains in survival rates among adolescents and young adults (AYA) are reported from the USA to be lower than in both younger and older patients. Limiting factors include low accrual to clinical trials related to the type of institutional care. This study aimed to determine the incidence of cancer in the 15–29 age group in Ontario, and the 5‐year survival of these cases by disease class, age at diagnosis...
Cancer in adolescents and young adults is an important public health issue, because there are approximately 1 million new cases annually. The distribution of diseases in this age group varies geographically, contributing to differences in survival rates. Although an overall survival rate exceeding 80 % has been reported in optimal circumstances, emerging knowledge about distinctions in tumor biology...
