Development of a Multidisciplinary Adolescent and Young Adult Program at a Large Academic Cancer Center
Implementation of an integrated, multidisciplinary care model within an academic cancer center has expanded access to specialized AYA services, streamlined care coordination, and addressed unmet needs across the cancer continuum. A centralized AYA oncology program can provide age-specific supportive cancer care and may serve as a scalable framework for institutions aiming to enhance care delivery and survivorship support.
