The inaugural Young Adults Cancer Symposium, a one-day multidisciplinary event dedicated to addressing the unique challenges faced by young adult cancer patients, survivors, and advocates. Focusing on breast, colorectal, and hematologic malignancies, the symposium will feature two key sessions. The first session will empower healthcare providers through presentations by experts in the field on the latest research developments and innovative treatment approaches. The second session will amplify the voices of young patients, caregivers, and advocates as they share personal experiences and tackle common issues such as family planning, fertility, financial toxicity, body image, sexual health, coping strategies, stress management, and overall well-being. This symposium aims to foster a supportive community and provide practical solutions to enhance the quality of life for young adults affected by cancer. Whether you are a healthcare provider, patient, caregiver, or advocate, join us in uplifting and empowering this resilient community.
