Abstract
Adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with cancer often demonstrate suboptimal engagement in cancer care due to a host of logistical, developmental, and psychological factors. This clinical case study of a young adult (YA) with cancer highlights the multiple ways in which social anxiety disorder (SAD) impacted a YA's engagement in cancer care. The case study also details the use of an evidence-based treatment for SAD to support behavioral change. Identification and receipt of timely evidence-based psychological intervention for SAD have the potential to improve AYA well-being and enhance cancer care engagement.
