Measuring health-related quality of life in adolescent and young adult cancer survivors with the National Institutes of Health Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System® : Comparing adolescent, emerging adult, and young adult survivor perspectives.

AYAs diagnosed in different developmental stages, particularly among off-treatment survivors, experienced diverse constellations of symptoms and functioning, and developmental stage was a more critical predictor of HRQOL than cancer type. These results suggest that supportive care interventions developed for AYA cancer survivors must be tailored and flexible by developmental stage and treatment status.
