Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity providing specialised nursing care and support for young people with cancer. We’re here for anyone diagnosed with cancer aged 13-24, and their loved ones too. 

We fund specialist nurses, expert youth support workers and dedicated hospital units within the NHS, ensuring young people have staff who understand their needs and environments appropriate for their age throughout treatment. 

What is Global Congress? 

In 2027 the Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Cancer Global Congress is coming to the UK. 

This significant event brings together global leaders, researchers and those in practice to present cutting-edge research, innovations on cancer care for young people, enhancing treatment and care worldwide. 

Working in partnership with Canteen, Australia and Teen Cancer America, the AYA Cancer Global Congress provides health, youth work, academic and social care professionals networking opportunities and access to insights from leading international experts in this specialised field. 

Health information and resources for teenagers and young adults with cancer 

We provide clear, accessible information on every aspect of living with cancer as a young person. 

Our resources help young people and families understand their care and make informed decisions. They also include practical guidance on mental health, nutrition, exercise, creativity and staying connected during treatment. These are available both as physical copies and online (our website, TikTok and Instagram) – all our work is co-created with teenagers and young adults with experience of cancer.
