The Rotary Bowel Scan has commenced for 2018
This is the commonest internal cancer affecting both sexes in Australia. On an average 1 in 19 men and 1 in 27 women will develop colorectal cancer by the age of 75. CRC is mostly seen in people over the age of 40 years. It is predicted that there will be 11,00 cases of bowel cancers, diagnosed in Australia annually. 90% of bowel cancers can be cured if detected early.
