Communicating with teenagers and young adults with cancer

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.

Fertility

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.

Social media

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.
