Presented by Eric Zhou, PhD
Sleep problems are common in adolescents and young adults with cancer, yet they often go unaddressed in clinic and can worsen fatigue, mood, and pain. This talk explains what makes sleep different in AYAs with a cancer history. Attendees will leave with simple steps to start in clinic and clear guidance on when to refer to specialist care.
