Cancer is the leading cause of death in the adolescent and young adult (AYA) population. Due to the unique differences in tumours, AYA’s often require different treatment types to older patients.

A study led Dr Kuan-lin Huang and his team at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, compared the genomes of 14 different types of cancers that affected both AYA's and older adults. The results suggest that several genetic hallmarks may play key roles in identifying precise treatment options for AYA patients.

This study was led by Dr William Lee, a former master's degree student, and Dr Kuan-lin Huang, Assistant Professor of Genetics and Genomic Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
