Article • Experts explore often-overlooked patient group in oncology

A rising tide: cancer in young adults

For a young adult, a cancer diagnosis hits different: a more aggressive disease course, greater disruptive potential, longer survivorship. Yet most healthcare institutions seem poorly prepared for this growing patient group. A plenary session at the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) 2026 Annual Conference examined one of the most striking shifts in modern oncology: the rising incidence of cancer in adolescents and young adults (AYA) – a clinically and psychosocially distinct group in need of a dedicated, multidisciplinary response.
