Cancer treatments 'not being trialled in children'

Cancer treatments 'not being trialled in children' Children with cancer could be missing out on potentially life-saving drugs because EU regulations allow drug companies to opt out of running trials in children, cancer experts say.

But cancer scientists say the rules should be changed so that adult cancer drugs have to be tested on children. BBC News
