Abstract

In 2022, according to the Global Cancer Observatory, >115 000 adolescents and young adults (AYAs; aged 15-39 years) were diagnosed with cancer across Europe. Despite their unique biological and psychosocial needs, AYAs face disparity of access to specialised oncology services, particularly outside major urban centres in the east and south of Europe. Addressing these inequalities is essential to ensuring comprehensive and equitable cancer care. As part of EU4Health, the European Union Network of Youth Cancer Survivors (EU-CAYAS-NET) consortium was established to advance Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan. The project aimed to develop—with patient organisations at the helm—evidence-based recommendations to standardise and improve care across Europe, ultimately enhancing outcomes and quality of life for all young people.

专科青少年和青年癌症护理单位的最低标准：建议和实施路线图。

根据全球癌症观察站（Global Cancer Observatory）的数据，在2022年，欧洲有1011.5万名青少年和年轻人（年龄在15-39岁之间）被诊断患有癌症。尽管他们有独特的生理和心理社会需求，但他们在获得专业肿瘤服务方面存在差距，特别是在东欧和南欧主要城市中心以外。解决这些不平等现象对于确保全面和公平的癌症治疗至关重要。作为欧盟4health的一部分，成立了欧洲联盟青年癌症幸存者网络（EU-CAYAS-NET）联盟，以推进欧洲战胜癌症计划。该项目旨在发展——由患者组织主导——基于证据的建议，以标准化和改善整个欧洲的护理，最终提高所有年轻人的结果和生活质量。
