Bowel cancer remains the second biggest cancer killer in Australia today
Over 80 Australians die from the disease each and every week. However if detected early, bowel cancer is 90% curable.
Annual testing for bowel cancer is recommended for all men and women over the age of 40 years.


A Bowelscan test can save a life
The initiative of over 300 Rotary Clubs across Australia
The programme runs during two months every year to raise the awareness of the risks of bowel cancer and to encourage Australian's most at risk to take the annual test.
With the support of hundreds of pharmacies throughout Australia, the programme distributes Bowelscan testing kits to local communities, giving people the opportunity to test themselves early and regularly enough to have a fighting chance at survival.
