Young Adult Alliance Online Resource Page

Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer are faced with a wide range of concerns throughout their cancer experience that are unique compared to children and older adults. Many non-profit organizations, government agencies, and healthcare providers provide AYA-related information regarding cancer types, diagnosis, treatment, and effects. However, locating the right information has not always been a simple task.

The LIVESTRONG Young Adult Alliance Resource Page is intended to be a central source of AYA-related cancer information and services available on the Internet. The Resource Page is designed to make it easy for cancer survivors, families, and even health care professionals to locate accurate AYA-related cancer information. The five main sections of the Resource Page include:

• General Cancer Information
• Physical Issues
• Emotional & Relationship Issues
• Practical Issues
• Community Resources

Each main section includes multiple sub-categories with descriptive links that take you directly to the information you need. Whether you're searching for information on specific cancer types, tips on diet and exercise, help understanding how to talk with your family and friends, ways to connect with other AYA cancer survivors or a number of other topics, we hope this site will help you improve your quality of life throughout your cancer experience.
