June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month
Bowel cancer is Australia’s second deadliest cancer and claims the lives of 103 Australians every week (5,354 people a year) – but it’s one of the most treatable types of cancer when detected early.

300 Australians will be diagnosed with bowel cancer this week (15,610 people a year).
