MGHCC Adolescent and Young Adult Program

Welcome!

Adolescent and young adult cancer patients and survivors face unique challenges during their diagnosis and treatment. Oftentimes these patients must navigate unexpected social and emotional challenges, unforeseen stress and anxiety, and general uncertainty throughout their cancer journey. The Mass General Cancer Center is working to improve the care, outcomes and transitional experiences of these patients by offering them access to a program focused on integrated care delivery, research, and education.

In addition to receiving exceptional medical care, patients at the Mass General Cancer Center are offered a wide range of programs and services that help support them at all stages of their cancer care. We are working to tailor the supportive care and navigation needs of both young adult patients living with advanced cancer and those who have completed therapy.

We are grateful to an extraordinary group of friends who created Crafts for a Cause in honor of two young men who passed away from cancer. Their fundraising kickstarted this program to better connect our young adult patients to one another and age specific resources.
