Adolescent & Young Adult Cancer Fighters: A "Learn Guide" For You
Adolescent & Young Adult Cancer Fighters: A "Learn Guide" For You
LAGUNA BEACH, Calif., March 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- "Cancer is rare and unexpected in the young, creating unique emotional and medical challenges. This educational Learn Guide offers an accessible first step in the journey. You'll find reliable information and experienced patient veterans to help light the way. You are not alone." Nicolette Chun, Stanford Hospital Cancer Center
Seventy thousand adolescents and young adults (AYA) are diagnosed with cancer in the US every year. This unique segment has often been overlooked by cancer researchers and clinicians. The Reimagine Well medical team is led by Dr. Leonard Sender, Medical Director of the Hyundai Cancer Institute at Children's Hospital of Orange County, and an internationally recognized pioneer in the research and treatment of AYA patients.
Dr. Sender says, "This Learn Guide is a must-have for any newly diagnosed AYA patient and their family. It provides step-by-step guidance from diagnosis, through treatment, to healing and wellbeing. It also provides a safe and evidence-based support platform so you can learn from thousands of survivors and families who have gone before you."
In partnership with pediatric hospitals that treat AYA patients, Reimagine Well's Learn Guides have been providing evidence-based patient education since 2009. This AYA Learn Guide shares the knowledge gained, from diagnosis to wellbeing, with a broader audience.
The benefits of Reimagine Well's type of interactive education, including reducing hospital readmissions, are well documented. "As an international AYA and pediatric oncologist, this guide covers important topics for patients and families in a comprehensive and age appropriate manner. Using text, web links and videos, it gives timely, accurate access to information in multiple formats. I look forward to my patients having access to this Learn Guide!" says Dr. Antoinette Anazodo, Adolescent Oncologist, Director of the Sydney Youth Cancer Service, Australia
