青少年和年轻人的癌症是一个重要的公共卫生问题，因为每年约有100万新病例。这一年龄组的疾病分布在地理上各不相同，造成存活率的差异。虽然在最佳情况下总生存率超过80%，但关于肿瘤生物学差异的新知识和临床试验的临床增加应导致进一步的收获。癌症生存的挑战需要进一步关注，特别关注生存者的生活质量和改善治疗的长期并发症。癌症筛查和预防计划为这一年龄组提供了相当大的益处。需要对青少年和青年人群体有一个新的看法;在所有这些变革机会中，国际倡导团体可以发挥重要作用。Cancer 2011;117（10 suppl）：2245-9. (C)2011年美国癌症协会
Cancer in adolescents and young adults is an important public health issue, because there are approximately 1 million new cases annually. The distribution of diseases in this age group varies geographically, contributing to differences in survival rates. Although an overall survival rate exceeding 80 % has been reported in optimal circumstances, emerging knowledge about distinctions in tumor biology and enhanced clinical accrual to clinical trials should lead to further gains. The challenges of cancer survivorship demand further attention with a particular focus on the quality of life of survivors and amelioration of the long-term complications of treatment. Programs in cancer screening and prevention provide potential for considerable benefits in this age group. A renewed perspective on the adolescent and young adult cohort is required; and, in all of these opportunities for change, there are important roles to be played by advocacy groups internationally.
