Differences between patient groups according age (Adolescents Young...

Treatment of soft tissue sarcoma frequently involves extensive surgery, loss mobility, and complex rehabilitation programs. Poorer patient-reported outcomes are reported in comparison to those from patients with other cancer types. Understanding patient experience is therefore important support improve care.

<h3>Background</h3> Treatment of sarcoma often involves long-term hospitalisation, extensive surgery, loss mobility, complex rehabilitation programmes, and is in many cases accompanied by low expectations survival. Subsequently, poorer patient-reported outcomes are recorded comparison to patients with other cancer types. Studies examining psychosocial functioning those affected needed improve wellbeing. <h3>Aim</h3> This study aims explore the experiences adolescents young adults (AYA)...
