Abstract
To date, the health‐related quality of life experiences of adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer have been inconsistently and incompletely captured by existing patient‐reported outcome (PRO) measures. The National Institutes of Health Patient‐Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) represents the state of the art for measurement science of PROs and provides an optimal approach for addressing these measurement challenges and catalyzing future patient‐centered research in AYA oncology.
