A recent study from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) highlights the prevalence of central nervous system (CNS) tumors in adolescents and young adults (AYAs). The researchers discuss the need for improved clinical management of these tumors, which are the second leading cause of cancer-related death in this age group. The study explores diagnostic approaches and recommended management strategies for different types of CNS tumors, emphasizing the impact of advanced molecular diagnostic techniques on understanding tumor biology. The researchers also propose enhancing collaboration between pediatric and adult oncologists to improve participation in clinical trials and emphasize the importance of considering neurocognitive and psychological function in AYAs with CNS tumors.
