When your child becomes unwell, it is understandable to worry that it could be cancer. Around 1,900 children (0-14 years old) in the UK are diagnosed with cancer every year.

Many of the common symptoms of cancer are also symptoms of other, often less-serious illnesses. But being aware of the signs and symptoms of cancer is important, as it can help with earlier diagnosis and treatment.

This section contains information for medical, healthcare and other professionals working with or supporting a child with cancer.

Our publications are free and available as digital downloads or as physical booklets and factsheets.
