We are pleased to highlight the launch of a critical new open-access publication collection: “Transition of Care in Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology: Global Models, Survivorship, and Equity,” now live on Frontiers.
The transition from paediatric to adult oncology services represents one of the most structurally vulnerable moments in an adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer journey. This collection brings together global perspectives, resource-adapted strategies, and implementation models to help health systems, policymakers, and clinical programmes worldwide bridge the gap between paediatric and adult care environments.
Key Focus Areas Include:
-
Care Continuity: Post-treatment medical surveillance and long-term late-effects monitoring.
-
Inter-Service Coordination: Integrated models linking paediatric oncology, adult oncology, primary care, and survivorship services.
-
Overcoming Structural Barriers: Resource-adapted transition pathways, with a particular focus on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
-
Digital Health Innovation: Utilizing telemedicine and registries to enable safer service handovers.
This initiative creates timely, actionable momentum that directly complements the upcoming global consensus initiatives being developed by our community.
