Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology (AYA) Program

Located in Woodridge, IL, the Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology (AYA) Program is dedicated to supporting young cancer survivors aged 15-39 with comprehensive and compassionate care. Our program, part of the renowned Lurie Cancer Center in Chicago, brings together a collaborative team of clinicians and researchers who focus on the unique challenges faced by AYA patients. We align our services with nationally recognized guidelines to address the complex needs of our patients, offering essential services such as psychosocial support, fertility counseling, health insurance and financial counseling, surveillance and survivorship care, access to clinical trials, specialty cancer programs, and palliative care. We also connect our patients with supportive organizations that foster community and provide additional resources. Our commitment includes providing medically necessary care at free or discounted rates whenever possible, ensuring that every young individual navigating cancer receives the care and support they deserve.
