Talk:AYA Cancer

Clarification, please
What does this mean: "Cancer in Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA) marks a new focus in medical health care today. While cancer is often recognized as an old person's disease, it is this concept that has led to many misdiagnoses of individuals with cancer daily." What is the concept that has led to misdiagnoses -- the error that cancer is solely an old person's disease? If so, then wouldn't something like this be clearer: "The error that cancer is solely an old person's disease has caused many failures to diagnose cancer in the young."

Comment
This seemed to be an article that has been abandoned after a few sentences. The tone of it was completely wrong imo, like an essay. I have reduced it to a factual, one line stub and added categories, a stub template and a 'needs references' tag. Perhaps someone will pick it up and run with it ... --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 21:05, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
