📢 Proud to share the release of the first national report on cancer incidence among Adolescents and Young Adults (AJAs, 15–39 years) in Luxembourg, covering 2014–2021.   This pilot project, led by the #EPICAN team at the Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH) under the umbrella of the #RELIANCE project and the Registre National du Cancer Luxembourg, was supported by the National Cancer Plan (#PNC2).   I would like to warmly thank all co-authors, collaborators, institutional and hospital partners, as well as the members of the scientific and management committees for their commitment and expertise throughout this project. Your collective dedication made this important milestone possible.   This work is dedicated to all adolescents and young adults facing cancer. Their resilience continues to inspire our collective efforts to advance research, strengthen prevention strategies, and improve care pathways.   📘 The full report is available here: https://lnkd.in/eY2jHiX4 Zidane Ngandjon, MD, MPH Ibrahima Niang Allini Mafra, PhD Bruno Lima Sophie Couffignal Claudine Backes Dr Jean-Claude Schmit Dr. Tom Rausch Eric Burlot Georges Decker Ala'a Alkerwi Stefan Rauh José Batista da Costa Podolak Nathalie Bertrand Donneaux Guy Berchem Duschinger Pit Dr med Gaël Hammer vincent lens Patrick Tabouring Robert M.
