The Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Group
Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA) with cancer are the lost generation1 when it comes to research, treatment and support - not only in the Australia/New Zealand region but internationally.
However, there is now growing momentum for change in the way we treat and support AYA with cancer.
The AYACG is an informal interest group for people interested in receiving information and news relating to improving care for adolescents and young adults with cancer. Our primary focus is the Australia and New Zealand region, but all are welcome to join.
