Take the test - bowel cancer screening could save your life.

Bowel cancer screening involves having tests to check if you have or are at risk of bowel cancer.

Bowel cancer is a common type of cancer in both men and women. About 1 in 20 people will get it during their lifetime.

Screening can help detect bowel cancer at an early stage, when it's easier to treat. It can also be used to help check for and remove small growths in the bowel called polyps, which can turn into cancer over time.
