What is Bowel Cancer?

Bowel cancer is the third most common type of newly diagnosed cancer in Australia affecting both men and women almost equally. It is Australia’s second biggest cancer killer after lung cancer. Bowel Cancer Awareness Month is during the month of June, to raise public awareness of a disease that claims the lives of 80 Australians every week. We spoke to Dr Ali Ziabari from Melbourne regarding Bowel Cancer Awareness Month to raise awareness among the community.
