In Australia, cancer is the second leading cause of death in adolescents and young adults (AYA). In an audit of 76 AYA decedents known to a comprehensive cancer center, most were male (63%), and most had a parent as primary carer (78%). Median age at diagnosis was 21 years (range: 15-27). Median time from diagnosis to first palliative care consultation was 9 months, and from first palliative care review to death, 4 months. Location of death was hospital (41%), home (24%), and palliative care unit (16%). Eleven (65%) of 17 patients who wished to die at home achieved this.
