Don’t wait until it’s too late – Bowel Cancer
Bowel Cancer Australia’s annual public awareness campaign, ‘don’t wait until it’s too late’ is aimed at raising awareness of bowel cancer and encouraging more Australian’s to screen for the disease. Bowel cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, can affect any part of the large bowel (colon) or rectum.
Bowel cancer affects men and women, young and old. It is one of the top five causes of premature death among Australians aged 45-74 and is the seventh leading cause of death among those aged 25-44.
Did you know that Australia has one of the highest rates of bowel cancer in the world; 1 in 13 Australians will develop the disease in their lifetime.
Don’t wait until it’s too late this February by:
- Screening for the disease
- Raising awareness on social media
- Informing the community
- Making a donation
- Volunteering
