We raise awareness of the signs and symptoms, empowering families and communities to act sooner. For healthcare professionals, we provide tools and resources to support informed decisions about tests and scans. Together, we’re working to ensure every child and young person gets the timely diagnosis they need.
We have information about the signs and symptoms of cancer in children and young people, and information and resources for healthcare professionals about diagnosing cancer in children and young people.
