- Factors like lower education and income significantly correlate with lower adherence rates, with those having fewer than four years of college being particularly affected.
- The study emphasizes the importance of addressing socioeconomic barriers to improve follow-up care for AYA survivors, especially in the critical years post-diagnosis.
Purpose: Young adult (YA) cancer survivors have high rates of adverse health and psychosocial outcomes. This risk-stratified, multicenter, randomized controlled trial (RCT) compared a self-management survivorship intervention to usual care in YA survivors with symptoms of cancer-related distress, insomnia, fatigue, pain, and/or depression.
Methods: Eligibility included age 18-39 at diagnosis with an invasive malignancy in the previous 1-5 years.
Background: The impact of cancer and its treatment on employment and financial burden in adolescents/young adults (AYAs) is not fully known.
Methods: Eligibility for this cross-sectional study of AYA cancer survivors included the diagnosis of a malignancy between ages 18 and 39 years and survey completion within 1 to 5 years from diagnosis and ≥1 year after therapy completion. Participants were selected randomly from the tumor registries of 7 participating sites and completed an online patient-reported outcomes survey to assess employment and financial concerns.
Purpose: Clinical trials have demonstrated the benefits of exercise for cancer survivors. This investigation determined the effectiveness and safety of a disseminated community-based exercise program for cancer survivors who had completed treatment.
Methods: Personal trainers from regional YMCAs received training in cancer rehabilitation and supervised twice-a-week, 12-week group exercise sessions for survivors.
