Sarah Belcher, Assistant Professor at University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing, shared a post on LinkedIn by Abigail Lustyik, PhD student at the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Nursing, adding:

“Congrats to Abi Lustyik on receiving a 2026 Conquer Cancer Merit Award, in recognition of the high quality of her abstract. Keep an eye on this rising star!

Thank you to Conquer Cancer, the ASCO Foundation and ASCOQLTY26 committee members for recognizing and supporting trainees to attend this meeting.”

Quoting Abigail Lustyik’s post:

“I am excited to announce that my abstract comparing health outcomes and frailty between adolescent and young adult cancer survivors and propensity matched non-cancer controls has been accepted for poster presentation at the ASCO Quality Care Symposium this fall in Boston, MA!

These findings highlight the need for clinically actionable aging tools for AYA survivors who would benefit from supportive care. Thank you to my amazing mentorship team for supporting this project!”
