Mary Cortes and Dr. Pozo-Kaderman join Gresh and Fauria to discuss Dana Farber's Young Adult Program (YAP). The aim of YAP is to

o Ease the emotional burden of living and coping with cancer

o Empower young adults to become active participants in their cancer treatment

o Provide emotional and social support in the form of educational workshops, conferences, opportunities to network with other young adults with cancer, and clinical mental health services

Mary was diagnosed with lymphoma in May 2023. Mary sought consultation at two other hospitals before deciding to proceed with her care at Dana-Farber. Mary’s treatment included a port placement for a six-month course of chemotherapy. Mary is a nursing student and surgical assistant at a Cranio-Maxillofacial surgeon’s office in Medford.

Dr. Pozo-Kaderman is a senior psychologist and the Director of the Young Adult Program (YAP) and Director of Interprofessional Education in the Department of Psychosocial Oncology and Palliative Care at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute with a faculty appointment at Harvard Medical School.
