CCLG Research Talks

This series of webinars aims to explore the world of childhood cancer research, aimed at patients, survivors, and families of a child or young person with cancer, and the general public. Each episode features expert speakers, as well as the opportunity for attendees to ask questions. 

April is Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month!

The theme of TYAC Awareness Month 2024 is 'Empowering young people around healthcare'. Teenagers and young adults with cancer have very specific needs and require age-appropriate care, but are often overlooked compared to children or adults with cancer. Help us to raise awareness and 'Bridge the Gap' for teens and young adults with cancer. Find out more here.
