Purpose: Every year, nearly 100,000 adolescents and young adults (15-39 years, AYAs) are diagnosed with cancer in the United States and many have unmet physical, psychosocial, and practical needs during and after cancer treatment. In response to demands for improved cancer care delivery for this population, specialized AYA cancer programs have emerged across the country. However, cancer centers face multilevel barriers to developing and implementing AYA cancer programs and would benefit from more robust guidance on how to approach AYA program development...

Adolescents and young adults with cancer (AYACs) have become recognized as a unique group in recent years. The unique developmental context and related challenges of being a young person with a cancer diagnosis can lead to a distinct and diverse set of psychosocial issues. Existing research has attempted to explore these psychosocial needs and challenges and to develop appropriate and individualized interventions. However, the needs of this group remain unmet, with ongoing calls for individualized support. This systematic review addressed the research question, "what are the psychosocial needs of AYACs aged 15-24 years?...

Isolated extramedullary relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in the breast is extremely rare. We herein report a case of a 38-year-old female with B cell ALL, who had isolated extramedullary relapse initially in the left breast and subsequently in the right breast, 3 and 4 years, respectively, after hematopoietic allogenic stem cell transplantation. She was successfully salvaged with bilateral whole breast radiotherapy, 24 Gy/12 fractions/2.5 weeks. This brief report highlights the importance of awareness of extramedullary leukemic relapse in the breast as one of the differential diagnoses of breast masses in the context of ALL...

Purpose: Treatment sequelae compromising reproductive health are highly prevalent in childhood cancer survivors, and a main determinant of health and quality of life. Follicular reserve determines ovarian function life span; thus, its preservation is important in the care of female survivors. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a biomarker to measure functional ovarian reserve. We aimed to evaluate the effect of leuprolide during gonadotoxic therapy on pubertal females' post-treatment functional ovarian reserve using AMH levels...

There are two purposes to this study. The first purpose was to develop a communication skills training (CST) program for oncologists working with adolescents and young adults (AYA-CST). The second purpose was to evaluate the program's feasibility. The online AYA-CST program was a half-day workshop including a didactic lecture, role-playing with simulated patients and discussions in a small group. All six oncologists who participated in the program satisfactorily completed it. Our AYA-CST program seems feasible and will be tested further in a randomized control study...
