This Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, we not only aim to raise awareness about the disease but also want to highlight the crucial role healthcare providers play in this battle. Your encouragement can significantly increase patient participation in bowel cancer screening.
The National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (NBCSP) helps reduce bowel cancer deaths by detecting early signs of the disease. If found early, more than 90% of cases can be successfully treated. Eligible Australians aged 45 to 74 can do a free test at home every two years.
