Patient-Centered Care for Adolescents and Young Adults with an Uncertain or Poor Cancer Prognosis: A Secondary Analysis of What Is Needed According to Patients, Caregivers, and Healthcare Providers.

Patient-centered care focuses on aligning healthcare with a person's values and preferences to support their health and life goals. This approach is especially crucial among adolescents and young adults (AYAs-with a primary cancer diagnosis between the ages of 18 and 39) facing an uncertain or poor cancer prognosis (UPCP), whose care needs differ from those undergoing curative treatment. This study aims to gain insights from AYAs with a UPCP, their informal caregivers, and healthcare professionals (HCPs) to define optimal patient-centered care and identify barriers to its implementation.
