Since the first edition of Cancer in Adolescents and Young Adults was published in 2007, there have been numerous milestones in the journey of adolescent and young adult (AYA) oncology. These include an expansion of the age range from 15–29 to 15–39 years and a commensurate increase in the number and scope of the constituent chapters.
