Precision Medicine for Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Oncology

Dear Colleagues,

Adolescents and young adults (AYA, ages 15–39 years) affected by cancer have unique treatment, survivorship, and palliation concerns. Precision medicine for adolescent and young adult (AYA) oncology is a rapidly growing field. With a focus on the unique challenges that this age group presents, the issue highlights the importance of precision medicine in improving outcomes and reducing side effects.

This Special Issue presents cutting-edge research and clinical advances in precision medicine for AYA oncology. Articles in this issue cover a range of topics, including genomic profiling, targeted therapies, and supportive care for AYA patients. This Special Issue also discusses the use of immunotherapy in AYA oncology, including the challenges and opportunities of using such therapies on this patient population. Original papers are especially encouraged; however, high-level systematic reviews or meta-analyses will also be considered for publication.
