As outlined by Dr. Michelagnoli in the Introduction of this Special Issue, we commissioned
this issue to “increase awareness and stimulate debate amongst the paediatric oncology
community and adult oncology specialists of the special needs of teenagers and young
adults.” We hope that our readers will be both informed and excited by the articles
within this issue and the questions they raise with regard to access, treatment, transitional
care and late effects (to name a few examples). A case is made for a more cohesive
approach to the management and treatment of this age group so that they do not become
a “Lost tribe” and this in itself raises more questions such as who should manage
this service. For a more detailed description of the content, we refer the reader
to the list of contents and Introduction.
