Physical, Psychological, Financial Late Effects and Health Care Use in Survivors of Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer: A Population-Based Study
Abstract
Although cancer is the leading cause of disease-related death in adolescents and young adults (AYA), over 85 percent become long-term survivors. Preliminary evidence suggests these survivors are at risk of long-term physical and psychological complications of their cancer and its therapy (known as late effects), but precise data quantifying this risk and identifying those at greatest risk is lacking. Consequently, how best to care for survivors, including who, when, and how to screen for late effects, is unknown. We will leverage population-based healthcare data in Ontario to create cohorts of greater than 100,000 survivors and greater than 500,000 controls to determine the risk of a broad range of physical, psychological, and functional late effects, to build risk prediction models that can inform clinical care, and to examine patterns of follow-up care and healthcare utilization.
