Be Clear on Cancer campaign
The Department of Health's national bowel cancer awareness
campaign will run from 30 January 2012 to the end of March.
Bowel
cancer affects both men and women. Nine out of ten people
diagnosed with the disease are over 50 and those with a family
history of bowel cancer are more at risk.
You can reduce the likelihood of getting bowel cancer by
adopting a healthy lifestyle.
Regular bowel cancer screening has been shown to reduce deaths
from bowel cancer by 16%. Find out more about the bowel cancer screening
programme.
If you are a doctor or a practice manager we have a number of Be
Clear on Cancer resources available to you
about the campaign and bowel cancer
itself.
