By Neha MathurJul 18 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent qualitative study published in the Nutrients Journal, researchers compared the life experiences of young adult cancer survivors aged 18 to 39.
Background Compared to older adults, young adults with cancer experience unique challenges while navigating cancer treatment, which can worsen their quality of life. For instance, due to their age, they have more appearance-related concerns, specifically due to skin scarring and hair loss after receiving chemo- or radiotherapies for cancer treatment.
