Abstract: © 2016 John Wiley & Sons Ltd The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the literature on the needs of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) who have survived cancer. PRISMA recommendations for systematic reviews were followed, and the quality of the studies reviewed was also assessed with a specific checklist. The following databases were searched from their inception to May 2016: ERIC, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PILOTS, ProQuest, PsycARTICLES, PsycBOOKS, psycCRITIQUES, PsycINFO, Social Services Abstracts and Sociological Abstracts. Fourteen studies were identified and analysed. The results show that the most common needs for AYA cancer survivors are as follows: “individualised information and advice,” “counselling and psychological support” and “social support, and social relationships.” These results are different from those reported in studies on adults, which shows the importance of specifically addressing the needs of this population. In order to advance in this emerging area of study and facilitate the work of health professionals, it is crucial to reach a consensus on two central issues: how the needs of AYA survivors should be conceptualised and what the most valid and reliable procedure for assessing patient's needs is.
