Or planning your wedding. Or establishing a career and starting a family. Adolescents and young adults facing cancer have special needs. The OHSU Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Oncology Program was created to help. It is one of only a few programs in the United States focused exclusively on AYAs with cancer. We provide specialized care for people diagnosed with cancer between the ages of 15-39.
Our program provides consultation and supportive services of OHSU patients as well as patients who receive primary cancer care elsewhere in the community. In addition, or team of skilled doctors, nurses, and researchers are dedicated to developing more effective methods of diagnosis and treatment to assure longer, healthier lives for people diagnosed with cancer in this young stage of life. Mission
As Oregon’s sole academic health center, we have lots of knowledge to offer. But social media is about sharing — it’s a conversation between you, your friends and family, and the doctors, nurses, students and scientists here at OHSU. We want to hear your comments and experiences: your stories are what make this conversation richer for all of us. Please be respectful of others in your comments. We try to make sure that conversation is constructive for all users and may delete offensive comments, spam or suspected spam. Although the information we share online is about health, we cannot provide medical advice for your personal health situation. If you have a medical issue that requires advice or treatment, we encourage you to contact your primary care provider.
