NHS England is encouraging people aged 50 and over to take part in bowel cancer screening, now being offered to 50-year-olds for the first time. Despite the launch, the uptake remains under 60%. Dr. Sadaf Haque from Gloucestershire urges people not to be “squeamish” about the simple process, which involves collecting a small stool sample at home. The test can help detect early signs of bowel cancer, even before symptoms appear. Early detection is crucial, as around 43,000 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer annually in the UK.
