Maidir le YARN

Líonra Eorpach Ailse na hÓige

Maintaining and strengthening the European Youth Cancer Network by providing quality information in a user-friendly way, fostering social connections, and empowering young people affected by cancer across Europe.

Ár bhFís

To maintain and further strengthen the European Youth Cancer Network, making quality information available in a user-friendly way to young people affected by cancer, their carers, healthcare professionals, and all stakeholders. We envision a Europe where every young person has access to comprehensive support, social networking, and digital tools throughout their cancer journey.

Ár Misean

We build on previous EU co-funded projects to advance and expand the European Youth Cancer Network into a multi-actor collaborative platform. Through peer support, user-friendly resources, communication campaigns, and high-visibility events across Member States and associated countries, we empower young people to be actively engaged in decision-making, improve their quality of life, and advocate for enhanced cancer care.

Tionscadal YARN

Cad é YARN?

Is tionscadal é Líonra Eorpach na nÓg Ailse (YARN), atá comhmhaoinithe ag an AE, a thugann le chéile 19 n-eagraíocht thairbhí agus breis is 40 comhpháirtí gaolmhara ar fud na hEorpa. Díríonn YARN ar thacaíocht phiaraí, meabhairshláinte, ath-imeascadh san oideachas agus sa ghairm bheatha, obair leantach fhadtéarmach, agus cothromas i gcúram ailse do leanaí, d’ógánaigh, agus do dhaoine fásta óga. Ina chroílár tá an Chomhairle Óige Ailse - grúpa comhairleach uile-Eorpach de 100 duine óg a bhfuil taithí phearsanta acu ar ailse agus a mhúnlaíonn cinntí agus torthaí an tionscadail. Cuireann an tionscadal creatlaí atá bunaithe ar fhianaise, uirlisí digiteacha, cláir oiliúna, agus feachtais feasachta poiblí ar fáil trí ocht bPacáiste Oibre idirnasctha.

Ag clúdach 25 Bhallstát AE agus 3 thír chomharsanachta incháilithe, agus á chur i bhfeidhm ag 19 mBuntáisteoir, 1 Eintiteas Cleamhnaithe, agus 39 Comhpháirtí Comhlachaithe, is é YARN an iarracht is mó dá leithéid san Eoraip, faoi stiúir taithí saoil, chun cáilíocht beatha a fheabhsú do leanaí, déagóirí agus daoine óga fásta atá buailte ag ailse.

Faoi dheireadh an tionscadail, beidh YARN tar éis:

  • 100 abhcóide óige ailse a oiliúint
  • 50 milliún duine a bhaint amach trí fheachtais feasachta
  • Caighdeáin EDI a chur i bhfeidhm i 10 n-institiúid cúraim sláinte agus 10 n-eagraíocht othar
  • Treoir um Aistriú Cúraim a chur i bhfeidhm agus a mheasúnú i dhá ionad dea-chleachtais
  • Imeachtaí beartais a óstáil ar fud na hEorpa, lena n-áirítear Parlaimint na hEorpa agus rialtais náisiúnta
  • Ardán digiteach ilteangach a sholáthar le faisnéis agus acmhainní ardchaighdeáin atá éasca le húsáid

Fágfaidh an tionscadal oidhreacht de chóras níos láidre agus níos cuimsithí do dhaoine óga atá buailte ag ailse—deartha leo, dóibh.

Teideal na gCloch Mhíle

Ciallaíonn Cothromas, Éagsúlacht agus Cuimsiú (EDI) a chinntiú nach ndéantar daoine a eisiamh ná a chur faoi mhíbhuntáiste mar gheall ar fhachtóirí amhail míchumas, aois, inscne, teanga, eitneacht, an áit ina gcónaíonn siad, nó a gcúinsí airgeadais.

Cuidíonn an Seicliosta Féinmheasúnaithe EDI a d’fhorbair Youth Cancer Europe le heagraíochtaí othar machnamh a dhéanamh ar cibé acu is féidir le daoine rochtain a fháil ar a ngníomhaíochtaí agus ar a seirbhísí, páirt a ghlacadh iontu agus tairbhe a bhaint astu go cothrom, agus réimsí praiticiúla feabhsúcháin a aithint.

Táimid buíoch de na hoibrithe deonacha agus de na heagraíochtaí comhpháirtíochta (LIGA, UBB, CF IF, UCA, EDS, POLA, PMC, HCS, SKCF, PanCare) a thacaigh le haistriúchán an tseicliosta, ag cabhrú leis an acmhainn seo a dhéanamh inrochtana do níos mó pobail ar fud na hEorpa.

D’fhorbair Youth Cancer Europe an foilseachán seo laistigh de thionscadal an European Youth Cancer Network, le hionchur ón Youth Cancer Council, ar chabhraigh a dtaithí phearsanta agus a n-aiseolas leis an bhfoilseachán seo a mhúnlú.

Tarraingíonn a ábhar agus a chur i láthair ar na Recommendations for Equitable, Diverse and Inclusive Cancer Care agus ar an EDI Train-the-Trainer Toolkit. Tá an seicliosta ailínithe freisin leis na Recommendations and Implementation Roadmap for Minimum Standards of Specialist Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Care Units, rud a chinntíonn comhleanúnachas le caighdeáin níos leithne do chúram ailse cothrom agus duine-lárnach.

Organisation of Long-term Follow-up (LTFU) care

– PLAIN language summary

All languages

This PanCare PLAIN language brochure (hereafter referred to as summary) is intended for CAYA cancer survivors, their families and caregivers, healthcare professionals seeking to improve long-term follow-up (LTFU) care, and anyone else interested in optimising the organisation of LTFU care. This summary is primarily based on the evidence-based PanCareSurFup guidelines for organisation of LTFU care for CAYA cancer survivors [1].

Why Long-Term Follow-Up (LTFU) Care Matters

About 2 in 3 survivors of childhood, adolescent and young adult (CAYA) cancer experience health issues later in life caused by the cancer or its treatment (called

Late Effects

Late effects are health problems that CAYA cancer survivors may experience later in life related to the cancer or its treatment.

Late effects can be physical, like problems with organs or tiredness (fatigue), or psychosocial, like depression, anxiety, or trouble at school, work or other social settings.

These health problems are called late effects because they can appear months, years or even decades after the original cancer diagnosis and treatment.

) [2]. Well structured long-term follow-up (LTFU) care can help detect late effects early and provide treatment and support, if necessary. LTFU care can have a positive impact on the quality of life of CAYA cancer survivors and the health system as a whole.

In many countries in Europe structured LTFU care still needs to be established or improved [3]. This PLAIN summary provides an overview of key elements of LTFU care and how you can get started or improve already existing care.

General recommendations for LTFU care:

  1. All survivors of CAYA cancer should have life-long access to

    Person-centred care

    Person-centred care means that survivors are treated as individuals and as equal partners in decisions around their LTFU care. This means that their personal circumstances, values, needs and preferences are taken into account for decisions around their health.

    LTFU care.
  2. LTFU care should start no later than 5 years after diagnosis.
  3. All survivors of CAYA cancer should be considered equal partners in decisions regarding their LTFU care.
  4. LTFU care should follow a structured approach and

    Evidence-based recommendations

    Evidence-based means the recommendations come from research and are backed up by studies.

    .
  5. LTFU care should cover all domains of life (physical, mental and social wellbeing) and be provided by a multidisciplinary team.
  6. The needs and preferences of survivors and caregivers should be central in decisions about the organisation of LTFU care in their country/region.

What are key elements of the organisation of LTFU care?

The PanCare network formulated

Evidence-based recommendations

Evidence-based means the recommendations come from research and are backed up by studies.

for the organisation of LTFU care [1]. These recommendations cover three areas: Structure of care, Personnel involved and Components of care.

What can I do?

In this PLAIN summary, we discussed the importance of LTFU care and key elements of organisation of LTFU care. It can feel overwhelming to read these recommendations, especially if LTFU care in your country still needs to be established or improved. Systemic changes take a long time and are a huge undertaking. However, small steps can already make a difference.

If you are a healthcare professional or a patient advocate and involved in organising or improving LTFU care in your country, you can use the PanCare Implementation Resources to help make changes. You do not have to start from zero - use what is already there!

If you want to get involved in systemic changes in your country, we recommend that you get in touch with national or European organisations ( PanCare, SIOP-E, CCI-E and YCE) for healthcare professionals, survivors, caregivers or patients.

If you are a survivor and want to improve your personal LTFU care, you may find it useful to take a look at the resources available on pancare.eu, beatcancer.eu and the OACCUs Toolbox. If you do not have a

Personalised Survivorship Care Plan (SCP)

A Survivorship Care Plan (SCP) includes a summary of your cancer treatments and recommendations for surveillance of potential late effects.

Ideally, you receive a personalised SCP by your LTFU care clinic. PanCare offers a long and a short version of SCP templates that are freely available for everyone.

yet, it may also be helpful to ask your LTFU care clinic, if available, to provide one to you.
