Shine Cancer Support’s 2026 report on the experiences of young adults with cancer in the UK.
Based on a survey of 571 young adults from across the UK with cancer. We followed up with 15 qualitative interviews to understand the stories behind the statistics.
This report is one of the most comprehensive pictures we’ve ever had of the realities facing people aged 20 – 49 with cancer in the UK.
And while some of what we found confirmed what we already knew, much of it was challenging and impossible to ignore.
