Caring for the Young Adult Lymphoma Patient

Lymphoma remains one of the top five cancers among young adults (defined as those diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 39), yet their needs only recently emerged as a priority in cancer care.

Overview

This webcast, presented live at the 2007 Pan Pacific Lymphoma conference, is a free educational opportunity for nurses. Please note: No continuing education credits are available for this program. 

Activity

This engaging online multi-media presentation will explore the unique psychosocial/medical needs of young adults diagnosed with lymphoma and bring you up to date on the latest ways in which you can assist in the treatment and survivorship care of this population.

Each lecture will open in a new window and includes all slides and audio recording during the live presentation. You can advance to any slide in the presentation and hear the audio for that slide. If you have any questions about this program, or would like to request additional educational literature, please contact us at helpline@lymphoma.org or 800-500-9976.
