BowelCancerScreening

A dedicated team working across Exeter, Mid, East and North Devon raising awareness of bowel cancer and the Bowel Cancer Screening Programme.

Today @NHSEngland has announced that it will lower the threshold at which home-screening kits for bowel cancer will trigger a referral for further testing 📢

The NHS estimates that this change will lead to 35% more screening colonoscopies each year in England to help diagnose, rule out or even prevent bowel cancer.

This morning, our Chief Executive, @GenEdwards spoke with @BBCNews about this exciting research project.

By analysing bowel cancer samples spanning decades, this project aims to uncover how the disease has changed over time. These insights could help explain why bowel cancer is increasingly being diagnosed in younger patients.

Ok, there’s no easy way to do this and it feels weird, especially posting on social media (I’m going full Black Mirror 🙃😄) but I’m hoping it’ll reach anyone who might benefit from seeing it or reading it.
