The Reid R Sacco Adolescent & Young Adult (AYA) Cancer Alliance was founded in 2005 with a focus on raising awareness about AYA cancer and its underserved patient population. As one of the earliest AYA cancer patient advocacy organizations to be established globally, the Alliance has evolved into a renowned leader in drawing attention to, and finding solutions for, a broad spectrum of gaps and unique challenges faced by AYAs diagnosed with cancer.
Looking forward into the next decade, the Alliance will sharpen its focus onto four primary initiatives:
Accelerating AYA-cancer-specific clinical research

2
Expansion of dedicated treatment and consultation services for AYA cancer patients
Training and education (through certifications and fellowships) of medical professionals in AYA oncology and in long-range AYA cancer survivorship care and follow-up
