Samenvatting:

This resource is designed to raise awareness levels of cancer for people working in the care sector, or those supporting someone in their own home or family.

The text begins by looking at what cancer is and how it begins. The types of tumour are defined and how they are classified. Various risk factors are discussed, together with the most common signs and symptoms of cancer. There is a section on grading and staging of tumours.

Tests, investigations and treatments are considered together with complementary therapies.

A special feature of this resource is that it gives access to interactive questionnaires that can be completed on phone, tablet or personal computer. The learner can then save or print their responses as required. There are also activities provided via the link.

Note for trainers:

Each learner could have this resource on their digital device and use the interactive questionnaires to send their responses to you for approval. Work can also be printed to form part of a portfolio of work if that is appropriate.

This is part of the Care Essentials series.
