Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Survivorship in Oncology: Cancer Related Cognitive Impairment and Opportunities for Intervention

Duarte, CA US
March 25, 2022

Underassessment of cognitive functioning in adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients is an underlying problem. Current practice does not routinely address the issue of patients cognitive functioning in this group. Ideal practice would be to implement a model including clinical surveillance, neurocognitive screening, and neuropsychological assessment to identify and intervene with these issues. This gap may exist because of a lack of education regarding cognitive functioning in AYAs in the field and lack of awareness about how to address these concerns among medical staff. 

Target Audience

Physicians, psychologists, nurses, social workers, rehabilitation professionals.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify several of the factors that contribute to cancer related cognitive impairment.
  • Outline the functional impact of cancer on adolescent and young adults (AYAs) during this critical developmental period.
  • Demonstrate awareness about the national guidelines that have been identified related to cognitive functioning.
  • Identify participants in the proposed clinical pathway for implementing guidelines related to cognitive functioning.
  • Discuss possible barriers and biases which may impact patient care (i.e., race, ethnicity, language, gender identity/orientation, age, socioeconomic status, attitudes, feelings, or other characteristics).
