More young people are getting bowel cancer
Manage episode 466691794 series 5409
Last year the screening age for bowel cancer was lowered to 45, in response to the rising number of young adults being diagnosed.
Australia is among a handful of western countries highlighted in a recent study looking into this concerning trend.
So will our lowered screening age make a difference? Or do we need to focus our attention somewhere else?
