Trends in Cancer Incidence in US Adolescents and Young Adults, 1973-2015.

Importance: Previous studies have demonstrated that adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer are a distinct cancer population; however, research on long-term epidemiological trends and characteristics of cancers in AYAs is lacking.
