5-Year conditional relative survival of adolescents and young adults with solid malignancies in the Netherlands: a population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The growing number of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors highlights the importance of their reintegration into society. However, years after recovery, cancer survivors still need to disclose their cancer history when applying for insurance. Right to be forgotten (RTBF) laws aim to protect cancer survivors from financial discrimination by shortening the required disclosure period. The required period for a disease to be forgotten varies between countries up to ten years in the Netherlands. Currently, questions arise about whether existing RTBF laws disadvantage AYAs by grouping them with older patients. This observational study examined the long-term conditional relative survival (CRS) of AYA solid malignancy survivors to inform potential adjustments to RTB
