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.

In this episode, we cover solid tumours: breast cancer; colorectal cancer; lung cancer; prostate cancer; nasopharyngeal cancer; skin cancer, and gynaecological cancer.

This guide is brought to you by Word for Word Media, publishers of Oncology Buddies and Buddies for Life in the interest of education, awareness, and support.
