Cancer types
Publications about each type of cancer found in children and young people, including detailed guides for parents and families following a diagnosis
Our information resources cover a wide range of topics relating to cancer in children and young people. All of our publications are available to download or order free of charge.
To help everyone access our web content we have added the ReachDeck toolbar which provides speech, reading, and translation support tools. You can choose to have content read out loud, remove distracting content or add a screen tint with a reading pane to help focus. Our web pages can be translated into over 100 languages. If you struggle with reading, have a visual impairment, or prefer to read in your own language, the ReachDeck Toolbar can help.
To try it out for yourself, click on the orange stick-man icon in the bottom left corner of the page to launch the toolbar. To use the toolbar with downloaded publications, make sure it is open before you download. Once the toolbar is open it will stay available on the page after you have downloaded the publication you want.
See our website accessibility page for more information about how the toolbar works.
