Abstract

In December 2017, the second Global Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Cancer Congress (www.ayaglobalcancercongress.com) convened in Atlanta, GA, showcasing a sizeable and ever-growing body of scientific literature illuminating the unique medical and psychosocial issues of cancer diagnosed during the adolescent and young adult (AYA) period between 15 to 39 years old. Among the host of innovations in AYA oncology, I presented an argument to promote ‘embodied’ AYA cancer researchers as future leaders of the Global Knowledge Economy, with qualified mentorship as key to their advancement. Embodied AYA cancer researchers are academic entrepreneurs, rarefied assets primed to make meaningful contributions in The Global University, and lead the cancer research enterprise with patient wisdom.
