How we produce our information|
Children are usually referred to a children's (paediatric) hospital. Teenagers may often be referred to specialist adolescent cancer units. These units have specialist doctors with a lot of experience in diagnosing and treating teenagers with cancer. The units also have a team of people to help support teenagers. The team is known as a multi-disciplinary team and includes specialist doctors and nurses, social workers, counsellors, physiotherapists, dietitians, education specialists and psychologists.
