Work- and insurance-related issues among Asian adolescent and young-adult cancer survivors: a qualitative study.

Purpose: Work-related issues among Asian adolescent and young-adult (AYA) cancer survivors are poorly described in the literature.

With an increasing focus on developing survivorship services tailored for adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors, incorporation of viewpoints from both survivors and health care professionals (HCPs) is important. This study aims to explore the perceptions of current and prospective survivorship services from both groups in Singapore to propose service design and delivery strategies. Focus group discussions with 23 AYA cancer survivors between the ages of 16 and 39 years at diagnosis and 18 HCPs were conducted in National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) and Singapore Cancer Society (SCS).
