1. Review of Cancer Incidence in the AYA Population
It is essential to clearly define the AYA population so their unique needs can be addressed. This chapter will review AYA demographics and identify the most common cancers seen in the AYA population.
2. Rehabilitation Needs of the AYA Living With Cancer
The AYA population can be diagnosed with cancers that are seen in the pediatric and older adult populations, including breast cancer and hematologic cancers. The short-term, late, and long-term side effects experienced by AYAs living with and beyond cancer will be identified. An engaging discussion will elaborate on the rehabilitation interventions required for AYAs to optimize function and return to prior level of function in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
3. Identifying and Addressing Barriers to Oncology Rehabilitation for the AYA Living With Cancer
While the AYA population can be diagnosed with cancers that are seen in the pediatric and older adult populations, their unique needs during this critical life phase may impede their access to rehabilitation services. The barriers to oncology rehabilitation experienced by the AYA living with and beyond cancer, including financial and psychosocial concern, will be reviewed. Additionally, methods to address these concerns and implementation strategies to engage AYA engagement in oncology rehabilitation will be discussed.
