Psychiatric Disorder Incidence Among Adolescents and Young Adults Aged 15-39 With Cancer: Population-Based Cohort

Abstract

Anxiety, depressive, and trauma- and stressor-related disorders are common among 5-year survivors of AYA cancer. Primary, secondary, or tertiary preventive strategies for AYAs diagnosed with cancer, particularly at an early age, are needed to mitigate risk of potentially severe outcomes because of psychiatric disorders.
