The National Youth Cancer Framework for Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer; Strategic Priorities for Australia to 2020

摘要

Background/Purpose: CanTeen and Cancer Australia jointly developed the National Service Delivery Framework for Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer (NSDF) in 2008, with a vision to maximise survival and quality of life outcomes for young oncology patients in Australia. During 2015-2016, a re-named National Youth Cancer Framework (NYCF) was developed, articulating a strategic vision for world class treatment and psychosocial care. This presentation articulates this initiative and will launch the new Framework on the international stage.
