06.01.2022 It's a common misconception that bowel cancer is 'an older person's disease', however the rate of bowel cancer continues to rise in adults under 50. Around 1 in 10 Australians diagnosed with bowel cancer are under the age of 50. Unfortunately, young-onset patients are more likely to be diagnosed in the later stages of the disease when it's harder to treat due to missed symptoms and misdiagnosis.... Factors such as family history, hereditary conditions, inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, smoking and high alcohol consumption can increase your risk of bowel cancer. You're never too young to have bowel cancer. If you have a family history of bowel cancer, are experiencing symptoms or feel like something isn't right, speak to your GP.
