RESUMO

Improving outcomes for teenagers and young adults (TYA) with cancer is a key element of the national cancer strategy in England. Recognition of the unique needs of this group has led to the development of recommendations for specific models of care and delivery of this care through the provision of dedicated clinical units in principal treatment centers (PTCs) across the United Kingdom. The aim of this study was to understand the current cancer patient experience for this patient group. We aimed to determine whether treatment experience is influenced by place of treatment and whether it has changed over time using patient-reported data from national cancer patient experience surveys. This study highlights that a prolonged pathway to diagnosis remains an issue for the TYA group and identifies areas on which quality improvement measures for TYA services should focus, including communication and involvement of the patient in treatment decisions. Positive experiences for the TYA group such as involvement in research were also highlighted. Treatment within a TYA PTC was associated with positive patient perception in a number of key areas highlighting the need for future studies to fully elucidate the impact of the full range of TYA services now available in the United Kingdom on both patient experience and outcome.
