Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer


A survivor and former Brutus Buckeye performer is calling on his fellow central Ohioans to support adolescent and young adult cancer research.
Gabe Gemberling was a student at Ohio State — where he performed as the famous mascot, Brutus Buckeye — when he was diagnosed with periosteal osteosarcoma.
Gemberling received treatment at the OSUCCC – James, and has since become an advocate for AYA cancer research, along with his wife, Lexi.
Adolescents and young adults diagnosed with cancer between the ages of 15-39 are recognized as a population with unique treatment and adjustment needs that require specialized care. AYA patients encounter different, age-related challenges because of the developmental milestones that commonly occur in this stage of life.
Among the events that the Gemberlings support is the annual Columbus Mac & Cheese festival, hosted by the NextGen James Ambassador’s Society, which raises funds for Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) cancer research at The James.

Adolescents and Young Adults with cancer (AYAO) are those who have been diagnosed with cancer between 16-45 years old. They affect 5-10% of the total cancer population (about 5-8 times more that of the paediatric population).
Certain cancers are preventable and many are potentially curable, especially with effective treatment in the early stages. Early diagnosis and treatment impacts treatment success.
Join us to find out what to look out for and when to worry about cancer despite being a young adult.
