What can you do to Strike Out Bowel Cancer?

Early detection is the key!

Bowel cancer affects thousands of Australians every year, and early detection is key to saving lives.

According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, approximately 15,000 Australians are diagnosed with bowel cancer each year, with an estimated 5,000 deaths annually.

Despite these numbers, bowel cancer is one of the most treatable cancers when detected early, giving it a 90% survival rate if diagnosed early enough.
