The aim of this Good Practice Guide is to raise awareness of the need to address and provide appropriate bereavement support to teenagers and young adults (TYA) experiencing the death of a friend to cancer through TYA cancer services.

This guideline aims to equip healthcare professionals (HCPs) with tools to assist in effectively assessing teenagers and young adults with cancers' (TYAs) preferences and engaging them in communication at the level they desire.

It is well recognised that treatment with surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy may affect a patient’s future fertility. The impact of cancer and treatment on future fertility may be different in male and female patients, and varies depending on tumour type, tumour site and treatment received.

If you work in TYA health and social care, then this best practice guidance is for you. Hear about the merits of which media to utilise and how colleagues have overcome barriers, some perceived and some real, to reach out to young people in a medium of their choosing.

Physical activity and exercise is an important aspect of routine TYA cancer care. All TYAs should be given information on the importance of physical activity, the benefits to them, what is reasonable for them to achieve given their diagnosis and treatment plan and advice on how to engage in physical activity.

The aim of this Good Practice Guide is to provide guidelines for professionals working with teenagers and young adults (TYA) (aged 13-24 years) with cancer. The document has been written from a UK perspective, however, clarification is given where definitions/legal matters differ in individual countries.

This TYA best practice statement discusses some of the key issues relating to transition and outlines principles for best practice that can be adapted to individual services and transition in all settings. These principles are set out against an assumption that all young people within the TYA age range will be discussed at a designated cancer MDT for both their age range and cancer type.
