Bowel cancer is currently the third most common type of cancer in England
The NHS has announced the expansion of its home-testing kits for bowel cancer in an effort to detect signs of the disease and diagnose it earlier.
The expansion of the NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme aligns with the health service’s aim of detecting cancers at an earlier stage when they are easier to treat.
Currently the third most common type of cancer in England and responsible for almost 43,000 new cases in the UK every year, bowel cancer starts in the large bowel (colon) and the back passage (rectum) of the body.
Through regular screening, the chances of successful treatment and survival are much higher.
