Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Cancer Awareness Week, April 1 to 5, 2024, is a time to shine a spotlight on adolescent and young adult cancer patients and survivors. To commemorate the week, Lauren Ghazal, Megan-Claire Chase, and Allison Rosen, all members of the Oncology Data Advisor Editorial Board, sat down for a conversation to highlight the issues that AYA cancer patients face, including fertility preservation and financial toxicity; the need to ensure that race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation are not overlooked when building welcoming support spaces for all patients; and the value of turning to the AYA community for support while also serving as your own best advocate.
