Love being an #oncologynurse 🧡💙!!

By simply identifying biomarkers that are known to increase the severity of toxicities, pharmacogenomics testing allows clinicians to tailor treatment choices to improve tolerability and ultimately patient outcomes #oncologynursing #precisionmedicine www.ons.org/publications...

A4. That AYAs are not pediatric patients, and not older adults. The impact on our social, physical and financial development is significantly impacted by a cancer diagnosis. And we have to manage the physical and emotional toll of treatment for the the balance of our (hopefully long) lives #ayacsm

Mark your calendars! Please tune in Tuesday, May 5th @ 8PM ET for our next #AYACSM

Thank you to everyone who joined in on the conversation. Your time, posts, and comments are appreciated and important! We are looking for guest moderators for 2026 – please let me know if you are interested! #AYACSM

We also need to see how we can leverage what we have in North America + other high-income countries to share with LMICs - recognizing that there are many around the world who could benefit from the sharing of resources, research protocols, etc. #AYACSM

Q4: This Global #AYACSM Awareness Week - What do you wish people knew about #AYACancer? #AYACSM

Q3: Do you see the #AYACancer movement as more united or more divided in our current sociocultural and historical times? #AYACSM

The AYA population is growing, which means there will be an increased demand for their healthcare needs as we/they (hopefully) have decades of life ahead of us, which will result in an increased strain on healthcare resources; recognize the issues early on, save $$ later #ayacsm

I think we also need to re-build community and I don't say that to discount the sustained efforts of our peers in community orgs - I mean as a whole, our society is facing disconnect and there's a need to keep bringing people together both for change and for peer connection #AYACSM

This is a great idea. Nurses and APPs are the ones who truly can connect with AYAs. #ayacsm

One of the biggest stories of a Canadian hero is Terry Fox. Yet, we still see that AYAs are discounted by some change makers because they do not represent a large oncology population. How can we be effective in our advocacy efforts to garner more funds, etc.? #AYACSM

A2. Get in front of the change makers — government officials, hospital leadership — because they are the ones that control the dollars/currency to make appreciable change #AYACSM

Agree and that's for those who know to advocate - I worry as well about how many people there are who do not realize that there are things to advocate for! #AYACSM

Yes, and it’s exhausting not just for those of us in the field advocating for AYAs…it’s also exhausting for AYAs to have to keep advocating for themselves #AYACSM

Q2: What can the #AYACancer movement be doing now to make things better for young people? #AYACSM

While it can feel that we are making strides (more countries hosting #AYACancer awareness weeks, 👆 research), it is times like this when it feels like after two decades we still have to do the same advocacy efforts we were doing back in the 00s. #AYACSM

I was on the @teencanceramerica.bsky.social presentation today, and per their survey results: 62% of AYAs reported getting NO age appropriate resources. That’s a failure of the healthcare system, especially high up to make sure providers are trained to ask the ?s and refer as appropriate #ayacsm

Agree - we need to make sure that our current healthcare providers and the next generation, are well-prepared to care for these young people #AYACSM

I agree!! We started referring to it as a global week rather than national a few years ago, because there are now many countries that observe this week for the very reasons you mention #AYACSM

A1. The needs of AYAs are unique to this age group and highly complex; yet providers do it feel adequately trained to address these concerns, thus the need to elevate the call of awareness and specialized training to meet their needs #ayacsm

Q1: What do you view as the importance of a global #AYACancer week to be? #AYACSM
