Adolescent and Young Adult Leukemia and Lymphoma Care Delivery in the Community: Metrics and Outcomes of a Community-Based, Immersive AYA Program
Conclusions: We report a high rate of guideline-driven care for AYAs with acute leukemia and lymphoma seen by a multidisciplinary team solely focused on AYA care delivery within a community practice setting. Metrics are derived from best practices from both pediatric (pediatric inspired therapy in AML, ALL; sedation for procedures) and adult (ABVD for HL, NCI and pharma-sponsored trials) oncology paradigms. Immersive AYA programs in non-academic settings are potentially effective models of reducing health disparities and improving outcomes in AYAs.Table 1.DisclosuresCrosswell: Seattle Genetics: Other: stock ownership in Seattle Genetics.
