Abstract

Background: Cancer is the leading cause of disease-related death among U.S. persons aged 15–39 years. Certain cancers are more common in this adolescent/young adult (AYA) population than in younger children or older adults. Research supported by initiatives like the Cancer Research Network (CRN) is needed to address late effects of cancer and its treatments among AYA survivors. The CRN consortium is funded by the National Cancer Institute to support cancer research at a subset of Health Care Systems Research Network sites. The data collected and maintained by CRN sites facilitate a variety of AYA cancer research opportunities.
