Advancing Cancer Care for AYAs – JANE-EU Joint Action on Networks of Expertise on Cancer
JANE- EU Joint Action on Networks of Expertise on Cancer shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Advancing Cancer Care for Adolescents and Young Adults: A Focus on Collaboration and Innovation
Adolescents and young adults (15-39 years) with cancer represent a unique patient population, often falling between pediatric and adult oncology frameworks.
This Network of Expertise (NoE) is dedicated to addressing the distinct challenges they face, including:
– Unique epidemiology and tumor biology.
– Psychological complexities and the lack of age-appropriate care.
– Limited access to specialized treatment and clinical trials.
– Insufficient cancer awareness and inequities in care across Europe.
To tackle these challenges, collaboration is key. This means bringing together diverse stakeholders – patients, clinicians, researchers, and policymakers – to find practical solutions and drive progress. It’s about broadening innovation for the youngest and oldest, and creating bridges where gaps exist.
JANE-2 is not just another initiative; it’s a platform for accountability and actionable change. By working together, we can overcome obstacles to implement more efficient practices, and deliver tangible improvements in cancer care.
Together, we can make a difference.”
