Bowel Cancer

Fresh TherapeuticsProfessional ServicesRisk Assessment and ScreeningBowel Cancer

Bowel cancer can develop without any early warning signs


usually the earlier it is found the easier it is to treat

Bowelscreen

Bowel cancer can develop without any early warning signs. The cancer can grow on the inside wall of the bowel for several years before spreading to other parts of the body. Often very small amounts of blood leak from these growths and pass into the bowel motion before any symptoms are noticed.

A bowel cancer screening test can detect small amounts of blood in your bowel motion. Screening has been shown to reduce the incidence of bowel cancer and improve survival after a diagnosis of bowel cancer.

There are two types of tests available:

Bowelscreen® Test       $39.95

BowelScreen Australia ColoVantage Screening Test

Bowelscreen® Test  is available for purchase at Fresh Therapeutics. The  price includes the test kit, pathology services and return postage. Please note, the test cannot be processed without the contact details of your GP.

The  bowel cancer screening test is called a Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) can detect these small amounts of blood in bowel movements. You complete the test at home and return it to a pathology company which undertakes the pathology analysis. The results of analysis are sent back to you and your nominated doctor.

The test looks for blood in your bowel movement, but not for bowel cancer itself.
Screening using a faecal immunochemical test (FIT) is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of dying from bowel cancer. The FIT can detect blood from pre-cancerous polyps or from early stage bowel cancer. When identified early, 98% of bowel cancer cases can be successfully treated.
Positive results from bowel screening programs do not confirm the presence of bowel cancer but it does indicate the presence of blood that may be invisible to the naked eye in your bowel movement. This may be an early warning sign. You should speak to your doctor who will initiate further investigation such as a colonoscopy.

Annual bowel cancer screening is recommended for both men and women, aged 50 and over, with:

  • no symptoms
  • no personal or family history of bowel cancer or polyps.

The aim of screening is to find any polyps or to find cancer early when it is easier to treat and cure.

 

National Bowel Cancer Screening Program

The aim of this program is to have all Australians between the ages of 50 and 74 screened for bowel cancer by 2020.

From January 1st 2019 Australians aged 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72 and 74  will be eligible for the government funded program.
