Abstract
Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer face unique challenges that can disrupt their identity development and psychological well-being. This letter emphasizes the need for enhanced research and policy reforms to integrate psychosocial support into AYA oncology care. It advocates for targeted communication skills training for healthcare professionals to foster person-centered interactions that address both the physical and emotional needs of AYA patients. Additionally, it explores the role of digital health technologies, such as telemedicine and mobile applications, in bridging care gaps, particularly in underserved or remote areas. By advancing these strategies,we can promote a more holistic and equitable approach to AYA cancer care globally.
