The article "A Call to Action: Antiracist Patient Engagement in Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology Research and Advocacy" advocates for incorporating antiracist principles into patient engagement practices within adolescent and young adult (AYA) oncology research and advocacy. It emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and addressing systemic racism in healthcare that disproportionately affects marginalized communities. The authors argue that actively involving diverse voices and perspectives, particularly those of historically marginalized groups, is essential for advancing equity and improving outcomes in AYA oncology. They call for collaborative efforts to dismantle barriers and promote inclusive, antiracist approaches in research, advocacy, and patient care.

The article "Gaps in Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Education in Oncology Fellowship Training" highlights deficiencies in the education and training of oncology fellows regarding adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients. It discusses how current oncology fellowship programs often lack structured curricula specifically designed to address the unique needs and challenges faced by AYA cancer patients. The authors emphasize the importance of tailored education in this area, including topics such as fertility preservation, psychosocial support, survivorship care, and age-appropriate communication strategies. They suggest that integrating AYA-focused modules into fellowship training can improve the quality of care provided to this patient population.
