Abstract

The population of adolescents and young adults (AYA) in France has derived little benefit from the advances in oncology in recent decades. Nevertheless, the number of epidemiological studies and publications in the field of cancer for this age group have increased recently. This has allowed identification of specific needs in terms of cancer treatments, supportive care and psychosocial care, during and after the treatment. Only an improvement in the structure of care, especially the link between adult and paediatric medicine, will improve the results in terms of survival, and physical and psychological well-being in the short and long term, for this population.

Résumé

La population des adolescents et jeunes adultes (AJA) en France a peu bénéficié des progrès de la cancérologie ces dernières décennies. Malgré tout, les études épidémiologiques et les publications récentes dans le domaine du cancer concernant cette tranche d’âge se multiplient depuis peu. Il en ressort l’identification de besoins spécifiques, tant en termes de soins oncologiques et complémentaires, que de prise en charge psychosociale pendant et après la fin du traitement. Seule une amélioration de la structuration des soins, et notamment du lien entre médecine adulte et pédiatrique les concernant, permettra de faire progresser les résultats en termes de survie mais aussi de bien-être physique et psychique à court et à long terme chez ces patients.
