Mental health in young adult cancer survivors

Acute lymphocytic leukemia is the most common form of cancer in children and mainly affects children aged 2-4 years. The improved treatment outcomes over the past 40 years have increased the importance of developing knowledge, methods and resources to support childhood cancer survivors during their upbringing, transition to adulthood and establishment as independent individuals in society.
