BowelCare Australia

   Published: Thursday, 10 July 2008

Cancer of the large bowel is the most common internal cancer in Australia

Object of BowelCare

  • Develop a community awareness of the nature of bowel cancer
  • Early detection of potential or actual bowel cancer
NOTE: Rotary does not perform a medical service, we are creating Bowel Cancer awareness. We are not testing for Cancer, but rather for invisible blood in the stool, which if present may indicate a cancer, polyp or one of the many other diseases - there may be a cancer or polyp that does not bleed and therefore will not be picked up, but most cancers and polyps do bleed intermittently.

For those who do the program annually, 90% will be detected before it is too late.

The earlier a Cancer or Polyp is detected and treated, the better the outcome.  - See more at: http://rotarydistrict9685.org.au/sitepage/bowelcare/#sthash.CMvNQdzf.dpuf
