Bowel cancer is our second biggest cancer killer, but if it's detected early your survival odds are good. So what's the best way to catch it early?
It is possible that other factors, such as age and medical history, are better predictors of bowel cancer risk than any of the symptoms normally associated with bowel cancer. This item in the ABC Health and Wellbeing 'Pulse' talks about screening, symptoms and colonoscopy. It also links to some other great information sources such as:
Bowel cancer screening - The Health Report - 26/07/2010
Bowel Cancer Australia
Australian Bowel Cancer Screening Program
