Young people living with cancer: implications for policy and practice

This book uses original data gathered from in-depth research to present an account of what it is like to be an adolescent or young adult living with cancer. These first hand accounts contribute to the insight necessary to the provision of age appropriate quality care. The implications of these research findings for policy and practice are also related to NICE Guidance (2005). Though primarily based on the thematic analysis of interview data, the book also provides contextual and statistical information on the current incidence of cancer in young adults.
