Perceived impact of cancer among adolescents and young adults: relationship with health ‐related quality of life and distress

ConclusionResults suggest that mental HRQoL and psychological distress, but not physical HRQoL, are a function of survivors’ perceptions of how cancer has affected them and continues to affect them in both positive and negative ways. Findings suggest that opportunities for AYA cancer survivors to re‐frame or better understand the context of cancer in their lives may result in improved mental health outcomes.
