The Young Cancer Network is a valuable resource for young adults with cancer and their families. Cancer in young adults imposes very different concerns and needs than cancer in older adults.  Young adult cancer creates concerns about fertility, body image, and relationships.
 

Whether it is the latest cancer news, resources for family & friends, or an online peer support system, YCN provides information and support to meet the specific needs of young adults between the ages of 18 and 40 facing cancer.

Thank you for visiting and may you find comfort through knowledge and the support of survivors across the U.S.!
