About EU-CAYAS-NET
The international EU project EU-CAYAS-NET is the first to be led by patient representatives. Its goal was to establish a European network of young cancer survivors and to create a knowledge hub as well as an interactive platform for social networking.

Additionally, the project developed patient-centered guidelines, tools, and train-the-trainer programs on key survivorship topics, including quality of life, care for adolescents and young adults with cancer (AYA), and equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). All activities were guided and/or closely coordinated with patient representatives from across Europe.
