Focus on
Bowel Cancer
Bowel screening is offered to detect bowel cancer when it is at an early stage in people with no apparent symptoms, when treatment is more likely to be effective.
A new ‘FIT’ (faecal immunochemical test)
home testing kit is being rolled out across our region and will require only one sample to be provided, compared to three previously. Screening can also identify polyps - abnormal
clumps of cells in the bowel. Polyps are not cancers, but may develop into cancers over time. They can be easily removed, which reduces the risk of bowel cancer developing.
Elaine’s Story I am a Cancer Champion and would like to
share my experience to help others. I am 75 years old and in 2013 I was diagnosed with bowel cancer and had surgery to remove one side of my colon.
‘‘I am amazed that other people don’t do it. I absolutely encourage others to be screened’’
Before being diagnosed I was not aware of
any symptoms, but I had always participated in screening for cervical, breast and bowel cancer when they were offered, so I completed my bowel screening kit when it arrived. I quickly received another kit and was
asked to repeat the test; the letter was encouraging and I was not put off from doing it again. I was quickly referred to the hospital for a scan and a colonoscopy. When asked about my experience of doing
my bowel screening, I am amazed that other people don’t do it. I absolutely encourage others to be screened I have two yearly colonoscopy checks, I am
aware of signs and symptoms and complete my screening kit when it arrives as it really does save lives.
Who is invited? • Offered to everyone in England from the age of 60.
• Invited to take part every 2 years between the ages of 60 and 74.
• If you are over 74, you can opt back in and request a kit every 2 years
If found early nine out of 10 people
diagnosed with bowel cancer survive it, so it’s so important to either participate in the bowel screening programme or know your own body; recognise when something is different for you and get it checked out with your GP sooner rather than later.
