The National Health Service is increasing participation in clinical trials, which is currently approximately two thirds of patients and tumour banking rates. It is improving the transition between children\u2019s and teenager and young adult services, in particular ensuring that there is no age gap between different services and embedding genomic medicine within children\u2019s cancer services.<\/p>
