The Reid R. Sacco Adolescent & Young Adult (AYA) Cancer Program at Tufts Medical Center was created 7 years ago and the team has shared the creation and model of care in a recent publication.

In the summer of 2020, after seven years of caring for AYAs at Tufts Medical Center the AYA Cancer Program team published: The creation of a comprehensive Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Survivorship Program: “Lost in transition” no more.

The dual purpose of this publication was to showcase the importance of dedicated AYA survivorship programs as well as serve as a model for the development of AYA programs at other hospitals.
