Yorkshire Cancer Network's Information Pathways
The Yorkshire Cancer Network (YCN) has developed "Information Pathways" for different types of cancer. These pathways list all the information that will be routinely offered to you as part of your care. Where available, they also offer a link directly to the resource.
These lists have been put together as a result of detailed discussion between service users, information specialists, nurses, doctors and other members of the care team. YCN hope that you'll find them useful.
