Abstract

Thyroid cancer (TC) has been deemed "the good cancer" owing to its slow growth, availability of targeted treatment, and low mortality rates. Inconsistent with this name, survivors of TC have similar or poorer quality of life than individuals with other types of cancer. Furthermore, young adults (YAs; age 18-35) with TC are at risk for additional psychosocial challenges. Support groups have been identified as a mechanism for improving quality of life among other YAs with cancer. A YA TC group is warranted given the unique experiences of TC survivors. Discussion points from a newly developed YA TC support group are reviewed.

不太好的癌症：青年甲状腺癌患者和幸存者面临的社会心理挑战以及青年甲状腺癌互助小组的创建》（Psychosocial Challenges for YA Thyroid Cancer Patients and Survivors and the Creation of a YA Thyroid Cancer Support Group）。

甲状腺癌（TC）因其生长缓慢、可进行靶向治疗且死亡率低而被视为 "好癌症"。与这一称号不符的是，甲状腺癌幸存者的生活质量与其他类型癌症患者相似，甚至更差。此外，患有慢性阻塞性肺疾病的年轻人（YAs；18-35 岁）有可能面临更多的社会心理挑战。支持小组被认为是提高其他癌症患者生活质量的一种机制。鉴于 TC 幸存者的独特经历，有必要成立一个 YA TC 小组。本文回顾了一个新成立的青少年 TC 支持小组的讨论要点。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
