Teenage Cancer Trust

Young people have a much better chance in their fight against cancer if they are treated by teenage cancer experts, in an environment tailored to their needs. So we’re working every day to make that happen.

• Family support network

Teenage Cancer Trust’s family support network gives mums, dads, brothers and sisters the chance to meet other people who understand their situation at every stage of the cancer journey and beyond.

• Research

We fund the country’s first Professor of Teenage Cancer Medicine who leads research into why young people get cancer and how best to treat it, ultimately improving diagnosis, treatment and survival rates.

• Education

Our education and awareness programme aims to educate every young person in the UK about cancer, prevention and healthy living, empowering them to take control of their own health.

• Find Your Sense of Tumour

Our annual conference is specifically for young people with cancer and gives them the chance to share experiences and learn more about their disease. Plus, 400 young people from all over the country in one place for a weekend…it’s pretty good fun too.

• International conference

We hold the world’s only conference focusing solely on cancer and the adolescent where experts from across the globe share information and research.

• Medical courses

We fund courses for medical professionals at all levels, so they can improve how they treat young people with cancer.

“Teenage Cancer Trust units combine an expert team and the best possible therapy with the best possible environment for teenagers and young adults. And by focusing on quality of life, they can change a teenager’s outlook and give them the fight and attitude they need to beat cancer." Professor Tim Eden, Professor of Teenage and Young Adult Cancer.
