The project strives to improve three themes relevant to youth cancer survivors:

  • Quality of life of survivors - including mental health, education & career support, follow-up care, and transition from pediatric to adult health care;
  • Care for adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer;
  • Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) along the whole treatment and survivorship trajectory.
