Workshop Statement of Task and Agenda
Addressing the Needs of Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer
A Workshop hosted by the Institute of Medicine’s
National Cancer Policy Forum and the LIVESTRONG Foundation,
with support from Critical Mass: The Young Adult Cancer Alliance
Statement of Task
An ad hoc committee will plan and host a 1.5-day public workshop to examine the unmet needs of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer. The workshop will feature invited presentations from clinicians and other advocates working to improve the care and outcomes for the AYA population with cancer. A major goal of the workshop will be to identify gaps and challenges in providing optimal care to AYA patients with cancer and to discuss potential strategies and actions to address them.
Participants will be invited to discuss topics that may include
• best practices for diagnosing and caring for AYA patients with cancer;
• challenges in developing the evidence base to guide the care of the AYA population;
• the unique psychosocial needs of the AYA population with cancer;
• behavioral health and lifestyle management for the AYA population;
• long-term concerns for survivors of AYA cancers; and
• end-of-life care and planning in the AYA population.
An individually authored workshop summary will be prepared by a designated rapporteur based on the information gathered and the discussions held during the workshop in accordance with institutional policy and
procedures. No committee will be used in the development of the workshop summary.
