The chapters highlight the initial efforts of this Committee in addressing the scope of the problem of adolescent and young adult underrepresentation in clinical trials and offer evidence that such adiscrepancy may partially explain outcome differences.In addition, these chapters present information about biologic differences between specific cancer subtypes most common in younger children and those exhibited by the same cancers in adolescents and young adults, and offer plausible explanations for outcome differences as well as potential treatment strategies.
