Like all cancers, bowel cancer is diagnosed by a pathologist. However, what makes bowel cancer unique is the various of ways it can be detected, through various physical screenings, digital screenings, faecal tests, and blood tests.
Early detection of bowel cancer can save lives.
Catching it early improves treatment outcomes and can dramatically increase survival rates.
@BowelCancerAust is running Decembeard, an annual campaign to raise awareness of bowel cancer. It's a chance to start conversations about our bowel health while enjoying the holiday.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health threat, leading to drug-resistant infections that compromise modern medicine.
This resistance undermines advancements in healthcare, making even simple infections potentially untreatable.
