Abstract

Each year, 70,000 adolescents and young adults (AYAs) between ages 15 and 39 years in the United States are diagnosed with cancer. In 2006, a National Cancer Institute (NCI) Progress Review Group (PRG) examined the state of science associated with cancer among AYAs. To assess the impact of the PRG and examine the current state of AYA oncology research, the NCI, with support from the LIVESTRONG Foundation, sponsored a workshop entitled “Next Steps in Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology” on September 16 and 17, 2013, in Bethesda, Maryland. This report summarizes the findings from the workshop, opportunities to leverage existing data, and suggestions for future research priorities. Multidisciplinary teams that include basic scientists, epidemiologists, trialists, biostatisticians, clinicians, behavioral scientists, and health services researchers will be essential for future advances for AYAs with cancer.

  • The National Cancer Policy Forum and National Cancer Institute have highlighted the critical need to assist patients with reducing symptom burden and promoting self-management of symptoms.

    “The National Cancer Policy Forum and National Cancer Institute have highlighted the critical need to assist patients with reducing symptom burden and promoting self-management of symptoms [12, 13].”

    From Improving symptom management for survivors of young adult cancer: rationale and study protocol for a pilot randomized controlled trial (2024) · cites this paper as [13]

    The Health-Related Quality of Life section reports higher symptom burden among adolescent and young adult cancer patients with unmet service needs, and the paper describes an NCI-sponsored workshop on future research priorities. It does not say that the National Cancer Policy Forum and NCI highlighted a critical need to help patients reduce symptom burden or self-manage symptoms; its discussion is also specific to adolescent and young adult oncology.

  • For many young adult cancer survivors, the impact of treatment is significant and long-lasting, including physical symptoms such as pain and fatigue, psychological distress, and increased risk of long-term health problems such as second cancers and early-onset cardiovascular disease.

    “For many YA cancer survivors, the impact of treatment is significant and long-lasting, including difficult physical symptoms (e.g., pain, fatigue) [4–6], psychological distress [6–10], and an increased risk of long-term health problems (e.g., second cancers, early-onset cardiovascular disease) [11–13].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
