About 2000 adolescents and young adults (AYA) are diagnosed with cancer each year in France. This period of life is marked by a maturation and transition phase in various areas (psychological, physical, sexual, socio-professional...). Cancer occurrence has a very particular impact.

It has been shown to promote patient independence, improve therapeutic adherence (which is particularly poor in adolescents with cancer), and strengthen the therapeutic alliance between patients and their healthcare team.
