Young Adults with Cancer Focus of Program Developed by Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center and Childrens Hospital Los Angeles
Date:9/15/2009

ned to improve awareness, access, diagnosis and treatment for young adults with cancer, as well as ". . .sponsor specifically developed clinical research and provide services that promote the highest possible quality of life for young adults receiving treatment for cancer in the AYA Program and for cancer survivors."

Nationally, the adolescent and young adult cancer population is under-diagnosed and underserved. The incidence of cancer in 15- to 29-year-olds is nearly three times higher than for children under 15. Nearly 65,000 adolescents and young adults from 15 to 40 are diagnosed with cancer, which kills more 20- to 30-year-olds than any other disease in America.

Survival rates of these young cancer patients have not increased significantly since the 1970s.

Twenty-year-old Brittney Edwards of Burbank was diagnosed with brain cancer two years ago at Providence Saint Joseph and subsequently treated at Childrens Hospital. Today she volunteers at Providence Saint Joseph and said she is thrilled to see the AYA Program open in Burbank.

"It will bring some really good doctors, different kinds of doctors, together to help people like me," Edwards said. "Childrens Hospital has some great doctors, and I love St. Joe's. It's exciting that this will be at 'my' hospital."

The new partnerships will join a limited number of distinguished AYA Programs, including those at Oregon Health & Science University, Vanderbilt University, the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
