Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology (AYA) Program

The Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology (AYA) Program in Lockport, IL is dedicated to providing specialized care for young cancer survivors aged 15-39. Our program unites a team of skilled clinicians and clinical researchers with the exceptional resources of Chicago's Lurie Cancer Center, ensuring that our services meet the unique demands of each patient with compassion and expertise. We adhere to nationally recognized standards of care, offering a comprehensive array of services including psychosocial support, fertility counseling, health insurance and financial guidance, surveillance and survivorship care, access to clinical trials, specialized cancer programs, and palliative care. In collaboration with various support centers, we create avenues for learning and fellowship, giving our patients the essential guidance and resources they need. Furthermore, we strive to ensure that necessary medical care is accessible, providing services at reduced or no cost when needed, so that every young person facing cancer can find the support and care they deserve.
