Low awareness and lack of early detection means that bowel cancer continues to have an unnecessarily high death rate. Many of the 4,000 bowel cancer deaths in Australia each year are preventable. Caught early, 90% of cases can be successfully treated – but fewer than 40% are detected early. Rotary is providing test kits during May for just $15
