The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) is the only cancer program in the United States that features a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated comprehensive cancer center aligned with a nationally-ranked academic medical center and a freestanding cancer hospital on the campus of one of the nation’s largest public universities.
Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA) diagnosed with cancer between the ages of 15-39 are recognized as a population with unique treatment and adjustment needs that require specialized care. AYA patients encounter different, age-related challenges because of the developmental milestones that commonly occur in this stage of life. These may include learning independence, navigating school and degree completion, starting a new career, maintaining relationships and family planning. Cancer impacts all areas of life and often makes this stage of life more complicated and isolating.
You can help fund research that leads to new therapies which treat the unique requirements of adolescent cancer — make a gift today to The Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Cancer Program (316016) to make a difference in the life of a young adult with cancer.
