Benefit of Interdisciplinary Care in Resource Identification in an Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology Care Model.

There are limited data to identify the best care model to support the vulnerable adolescent and young adult (AYA) oncology population. We sought to compare the impact of AYA physician visits versus interdisciplinary team (IDT) care on AYA-specific resource identification and utilization, as well as to provide a model of AYA oncology care implementation. We identified AYA-aged patients 15-39 years with a current or prior history of cancer seen by the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center (UWCCC) AYA Oncology Program between January 21, 2021 and May 27, 2021.
