The 7th Annual NC AYA Oncology Symposium has officially wrapped, and we’re so thankful for the incredible community of clinicians, researchers, advocates, and survivors who gathered with us in Chapel Hill!

This year, we explored pressing challenges in Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) oncology, with a focus on the importance of strong academic and community partnerships. Through keynote presentations, expert-led panels, and interactive breakout sessions, we took an in-depth look at opportunities for advancing care and addressing the unique needs of AYA cancer patients and survivors.

A big thank you to everyone who shared their expertise and lived experiences, your dedication motivates us to continue pushing for better resources, care, and outcomes for young people facing cancer.
