Children with cancer are being denied potentially life-saving treatment because of a loophole in EU rules, according to the Institute of Cancer Research.

Of 28 new cancer drugs approved in the EU for adults since 2007, 26 could potentially work in children, but 14 have been exempted from child testing.
