Adolescent or young adult (AYA) patients with cancer are a unique group, with unique clinical needs; these patients are not entirely suited to cancer treatment and managment strategies designed either for paediatric patients, or older adult patients. In this Review, issues associated with the treatment, management and long-term outcomes of AYA patients with cancer are described in the context of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and melanoma.
