Fox Chase Cancer Center’s Young Adult Cancer Program was proud to be represented at Stupid Cancer's CancerCon 2026, the nation’s largest gathering dedicated to the adolescent and young adult cancer community.

Christopher Cann, MD and Disha Sawhney, DHA, MHA, FACHDM, joined patients, survivors, advocates, and health professionals from across the country to share ideas, build community, and help advance the future of young adult cancer care.

For young adults, cancer affects far more than treatment. It can disrupt school, careers, relationships, fertility, mental health, independence, and identity. Through the Young Adult Cancer Program, Fox Chase is working to create a more connected and supportive model of care designed specifically for this stage of life.

We are proud to help lead the charge in reshaping how cancer care is delivered to young adults — in Philadelphia and across the country.

Connection and community are at the heart of Fox Chase Cancer Center.

At this year’s New Faculty Reception, we welcomed 33 new faculty members and celebrated the collaboration, mentorship, and shared mission that define our culture.

As President and CEO Robert Uzzo, MD, MBA, FACS, shared, “At Fox Chase, we work as a team, and we succeed as a team.”

The Young Adult Cancer Program recently hosted a social mixer for patients and caregivers.

For young adults facing cancer, connection and community can make a meaningful difference. The evening created space for patients and caregivers to step away from appointments and treatment, share experiences, and connect with others who understand the journey.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to Bayer Pharmaceuticals for helping make the event possible.
