Help us to stop bowel cancer
Bowel cancer is treatable and curable especially if diagnosed early. People whose cancer is diagnosed at an early stage have a much higher chance of successful treatment than those whose cancer has become more widespread. If you have any symptoms don’t ignore them.
Screening can detect bowel cancer at an early stage in people with no symptoms, when it is easier to treat. Sometimes it can prevent bowel cancer from developing in the first place by picking up non-cancerous growths (polyps) which could become cancerous

There can be a range of treatment for bowel cancer including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. There are also treatments for bowel cancer that has spread. Once diagnosed, the health professionals looking after you will talk though which treatments may be suitable for you
