DID YOU KNOW?
Bowel cancer kills more Australians each year than breast and prostate cancer.
Most people survive bowel cancer if it is detected early and treated before it has spread.
Annual screening for bowel cancer may save your life or the life of someone you love.
ARE YOU AT RISK?
Both men and women are at risk of developing bowel cancer.
The risk is greater for people:
* Aged 50 years and older (risk increases over the age of 40 and significantly over the age of 50).
* With a family history or personal history of bowel cancer or polyps.
* With certain chronic bowel diseases (such as Crohns Disease, colitis and inflammatory bowel disease).
HOW CAN YOU BE TESTED?
The test detects tiny amounts of blood (usually invisible to the naked eye) released from bowel cancers or pre-cancerous growths into the bowel motion. This may be an early warning sign.
It is recommend that you have a bowel cancer screening test every year if you:
* Are over 50 years of age and have no symptoms.
You should talk to your doctor first if:
* You have a family history or personal history of bowel cancer.
Have symptoms that concern you.
