We published seven pages dedicated to preoperative optimisation proven to reduce surgical complications by up to 50% for patients.

The pages provide resources for clinicians to support patients to improve their outcomes.

Regular exercise can help cut people's risk of dying after colon cancer treatment by more than a third, according to a trial we helped fund. The key is giving people tailored support to find the right activities for them.

1) Delighted to share our publication demonstrating the clinical effectiveness of prehabilitation in patients with lung cancer undergoing curative-intent radiotherapy. Largest cohort published to date in this under-studied area (outside of surgery).

It’s #BowelCancerAwarenessMonth and we’re launching our #PassItOn campaign.

Today we’re passing on this key message. Having symptoms doesn’t always mean you have #BowelCancer. But it’s still important to find out what’s causing them.
