Introduction
Cancer in individuals under 40 is rapidly becoming a major public health concern. These patients exhibit unique health behaviors, distinct from those observed in older populations. Concurrently, they often face specific physical, psychosocial, and socioeconomic challenges that can influence clinical outcomes. Yet, these aspects are frequently underestimated in standard care pathways.
Digital health solutions, particularly remote patient monitoring (RPM), offer an opportunity to bridge these gaps by enabling continuous, systematic, standardized assessment and more personalized follow-up.
This study, presented at ASCO 2025, explores the health behaviors of these young adult patients, their impact on perceived symptom burden, and their adherence to remote monitoring.
