Cancer is the fourth leading cause of death in adolescent and young adults (AYA: ages15-39) worldwide. Over 90% of AYAs with cancer live in low-and-middle-incomecountries (LMIC). Little is known about thecurrent landscape of AYA oncology care in these settings. Guidelines for the care of thisunique population in LMIC in Latin America are lacking.
