渥太华医院癌症中心的一项新方案于6月启动,为面临癌症的青少年和青年(15-39岁)提供支助。 这个群体早期发癌率上升。 A new program at The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre launched in June supports adolescents and young adults (15-39) facing cancer, a group seeing rising rates of early-onset cancers. 该倡议旨在应对孤立和独特的生活挑战,如学校、职业、养育子女和关系等,提供治疗之外的整体护理。 Designed to address isolation and unique life challenges like school, careers, parenting, and relationships, the initiative offers holistic care beyond treatment. 注册的病人超过1 500人,过去10年中该区域接受AYA诊断的人数增加了30%。 Over 1,500 patients have enrolled, with a 30% increase in AYA diagnoses in the region over the past decade. 虽然大多数人幸存下来,但许多人面临持续的情感和实际斗争,促使需要由护士从业者领导的专门支助,以协助康复和重返社会。 Though most survive, many face ongoing emotional and practical struggles, prompting the need for specialized support led by nurse practitioners to aid recovery and reintegration.
