bowel cancer cases in Australia are having huge rise in number of patients, with new research on Tuesday saying incidence of the disease will jump by 50 percent over the next decade.
Cancer Council Australia data said there would be 21,000 cases annually, putting pressure on health services.
Chief executive Professor Ian Olver said the numbers underscored the urgency of introducing a full screening programme to catch the disease before it develops.
Australia's national screening programme currently targets people turning 50, 55 and 65, despite expert recommendations that everyone over 50 should be screened.
