Abstract:
Sarcomas occur across all ages and are relatively abundant in the adolescent and young adult populations compared with older adults. Because of an overall rarity combined with a broad diversity of diagnoses, expertise is often concentrated in comprehensive cancer centers. The sarcoma model of care is an excellent model for overall adolescent and young adult care. We summarize some of the natural advantages of the field for developing adolescent and young adult programs, review management and referral touchpoints, and summarize recent biologic and clinical trial insights that have affected sarcoma management recently.
