Research has indicated that low availability of clinical trials, biological differences of this age-group, and several psychosocial factors including higher emotional distress impact outcomes. To improve care and survival rates for these patients, hospitals have implemented AYA oncology programs. The current study evaluated documentation of care in an AYA program housed in an academic medical center based on three areas emphasized in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network's Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology for AYAs: clinical trial enrollment, fertility, and psychosocial care. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Retrospective chart reviews were conducted for 45 patients treated before the start of the AYA oncology program and 45 patients treated after program initiation. Patients aged 15-39 years with a diagnosis of a malignant tumor were included. Variables evaluated included documentation of clinical trial enrollment, fertility preservation and sexual health considerations, and behavioral health referrals. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Documentation of most clinical trial and fertility variables did not significantly improve from pre- to post-program, although a higher number of patients had these variables documented post-program. Behavioral health referrals increased significantly from 52.8% pre-program to 95.4% post-program. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Access to behavioral health care improved the most following implementation of our AYA program, which is likely because of the integration of a dedicated psychologist for AYAs when the program began. The practice of guideline-based care for this population can be better assessed and improved with designated behavioral health providers and more systematic documentation processes.</p>","PeriodicalId":14769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of adolescent and young adult oncology","volume":" ","pages":"852-858"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141498109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
