A cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming. It is important to understand not only the information that matters most to you, but also your rights as a patient. In particular, you should be aware of your best treatment options, which may include whole genome sequencing or participation in a clinical trial.
To help make the facts easier to understand, please take a look at these specially created guides on genomics, clinical trials and biobanking, designed specifically for young people undergoing cancer treatment:
