Bowel cancer is a very common form of cancer, but many people survive bowel cancer due to early detection. Bowel cancer screening is very important to aid in early detection and improve health outcomes. The risk of developing bowel cancer increases significantly over the age of 50.

The first sign of lower bowel bleeding is usually invisible to the naked eye and lacks symptoms. If you're over 50 you are at risk, it is recommended that you have a bowel screening test every year as early detection is vital.
