Leveraging the large and diverse population of Los Angeles County, this report provides cancer survival probabilities for 18 types of cancer diagnosed among Adolescents and Young Adults (AYAs) aged 15-39 years old. For each type of cancer, the AYA survival information is analyzed by sex, age, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic, and stage of disease at diagnosis. Substantial survival differences are found by these sociodemographic and tumor characteristics. This is the first AYA survival monograph for Los Angeles County. The goal is to provide a better understanding of the effectiveness of cancer treatment and help to identify subgroups of AYAs who are at greatest risk of cancer related death, in order to facilitate the advancement in AYA cancer research.
