Bowel Cancer – You’re never too young
June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month. This year we’re raising awareness that bowel cancer can strike at any age.
The incidence of bowel cancer in younger adults is rising in New Zealand. 10% of bowel cancer patients are under 50 – that’s more than 300 a year. Each year about 3,000 New Zealanders are diagnosed with the disease and more than 1,200 will die. That’s as many as breast and prostate cancer combined.
