Cancer affects children and young people in different ways to adults. From the type of cancer they have, to when they’re diagnosed, to how and where they’re treated.

This means that children and young people with cancer need tailored care from people who understand them. They need the right kind of treatment, at the right time, in the right place. So they have the best possible chance to get well and get on with their lives.

That’s why Young Lives vs Cancer is asking UK governments to prioritise their unique needs in their plans for cancer services.

This September join us in calling for children and young people with cancer to get the specialist support and care they need. Email your representative in parliament now.
