Faculty Opinions recommendation of Psychosocial outcomes and interventions among cancer survivors diagnosed during adolescence and young adulthood (AYA): a systematic review.

Purpose-A cancer diagnosis during adolescence or young adulthood (AYA; defined as ages 15-39) generates unique medical and psychosocial needs as developmental milestones are simultaneously impacted.Past research highlights that AYAs' experiences and psychosocial outcomes are different, and more research and attention is needed.We aimed to identify and synthesize literature regarding psychosocial outcomes, unique needs, and existing psychosocial interventions pertaining to individuals diagnosed with cancer exclusively during AYA, and to highlight areas for future research.Methods-A systematic literature search was conducted using MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE, Cochrane, Web of Science, and PsycINFO (via OVID).Grey literature was searched using key term variations and combinations.Overall, 15,301 records were assessed by two independent reviewers, with 38 studies meeting inclusion criteria.
