AYA survivors of childhood ALL adapt well to their new life situations, but many experience ongoing cancer-related disruptions and experience not being fully understood. We suggest exploration and verbalization of these issues alongside somatic follow-up around the age of 16-18 years to support the AYA survivors during their transition into adulthood.
