It is well established that AYAs, defined as individuals between 15-39 years of age, require specific oncologic and supportive care distinct from children and older adults. Yet cancer care and support systems often do not meet the unique needs of AYAs. In British Columbia (BC), approximately 1050 AYAs are diagnosed with cancer each year. There is currently limited provincial AYA cancer care and support programming. In 2022, the Anew Research Collaborative and BC Cancer, met with over 70 AYAs and cancer care allies (health care providers, clinicians, researchers, and supporters) and facilitated a patient-oriented, Participatory Action Research session to reimagine AYA cancer care and support in BC. In this article we discuss our participatory research process and subsequent advances and future opportunities to create a provincial AYA cancer care and support program in BC. We discuss key factors to consider when engaging AYAs to transform cancer care and support systems including considering the care and support needs of AYAs, using participatory methods to support collaboration and disrupt power structures, and orienting the process and outcomes towards action and/or change. Additionally, we reinforce the importance of providing counselling supports when working within difficult or traumatic contexts and the need to engage AYAs from underrepresented groups. Using a participatory, patient-oriented research approach, this project lays the foundation for meaningful engagement of AYAs, alongside cancer care allies, to create tangible changes in AYA cancer care and support that respond the unique experiences, needs and priorities of AYAs; and the approaches used are applicable across many health care contexts
