Bowel Cancer What is bowel cancer? Bowel cancer is also known as colorectal cancer. It can develop without any early warning signs. The cancer can grow on the inside wall of the bowel for several years before spreading to other parts of the body. Often very small amounts of blood which may be invisible to the naked eye actually leak from these growths and pass into the bowel movements before any symptoms are experienced. Symptoms are often ignored as they can overlap with general signs of abdominal pains, changes in bowel movements or haemorrhoids. However, seek medical advice if any of the following symptoms persist for more than two weeks: • Blood in the stool • Persistent change in bowel habit • Abdominal pain or swelling • Pain or a lump in the anus or rectum • A feeling that the bowel has not emptied completely after a bowel movement
Ask your Advantage Pharmacist for further advice on what to look out for!

Bowel Cancer Screening Bowel cancer screening involves a test for bowel cancer in people who do not have any obvious symptoms of the disease. The test, called a Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT), can detect small amounts of blood in bowel movements. These are the blood that may have originated from the leak of cancer growths on the inside wall of the bowel. The test involves collecting a small faecal sample and is designed to look for blood in the bowel movement, not for the cancer itself.
The screening test is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of mortality from bowel cancer. This is because the test can detect blood from polyps that have not turned into cancer, or detect early stage bowel cancer. Early detection is important, as almost 90% of bowel cancer cases can be treated successfully if treated early. Ask your Advantage Pharmacist now about how you can do the simple screening test at home using the Bowelscreen Australia Kit!

National Bowel Cancer Screening Program The National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (NBCSP) offers free screening for bowel cancer to eligible Australians. The NBCSP invites Australians aged between 50 and 74 years to screen for bowel cancer through offering a free test kit to complete at home.
The screening test involves collecting a small faecal sample to send to a pathology laboratory specified in the kit. You will receive your screening invitation, free test kit and other program information around the time of your birthday. Throughout 2018, the NBCSP will be inviting the following age groups to participate: 50, 54, 58, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72 and 74. By 2020, all eligible Australians aged between 50 and 74 years will be invited every two years. This could save up to 500 lives annually and reduce the burden of bowel cancer on Australians and their families!

Bowel cancer, however, affects men and women, young and old. The number of Australians under the age of 50 year diagnosed with bowel can has also been steadily on the rise. Bowel cancer is one of the top five causes of mortality among Australians aged 45-74 years and is the seventh leading cause of death among those aged 25-44.

If detected early, almost 90% of bowel cancer cases can be treated successfully when detected early.
