Loading player...
This year we have focused on the diagnostic procedures of various cancers (solid tumours, blood cancers, and childhood cancers) to help you understand what tests will be done, why they are done, and which doctors are likely to do them, as well as the referral pathway. Our hope is that this will outline what you can expect.

In this episode, we cover childhood cancers: leukaemia; brain tumours; lymphoma; neuroblastoma; nephroblastoma; soft tissue sarcoma; and bone tumours
