Referral guidance for suspected cancer in children and young people
Published: Apr 2021
CCLG referral guidance for suspected cancer in children and young people is a supporting resource for NICE guideline NG12 'Suspected cancer: recognition and referral'.
The NICE guideline covers the identification of symptoms that could be caused by cancer in people of all ages. It outlines appropriate investigations in primary care and selection of people to refer for specialist opinion.
This guidance is specific to children as it is recognised that there are a number of differences in the presentation, referral pathways and care of children with cancer compared with those of adults.
