Abstract
Adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors face unique psychological challenges that significantly
impact their quality of life and long-term well-being. This article reviews the psychological outcomes associated with
cancer survivorship in this demographic, emphasizing the prevalence of mental health disorders, including anxiety
and depression, and the influence of treatment modalities and social factors. Through a comprehensive analysis
of current literature, we identify key psychological issues affecting AYA cancer survivors and discuss interventions
that can improve their mental health outcomes. The findings underscore the need for tailored psychological support
services in clinical settings to address the distinct needs of AYA cancer survivors.
