Only four in 10 Australians aged between 50 and 74 take the free at-home bowel cancer test. More than four million Australians were sent the at-home test in two years, but only 41 per cent completed took part. The Cancer Institute NSW has released the date to urge more people to complete their free bowel cancer screening kits. The free screening kit is mailed to people who are truning50 and then every two years until the age of 74. We have interviewed Sydney based Dr Raham Shinwary and discussed the importance of free screening kits and also how we can cure of the bowel cancer.
