    New research from the Cancer Council shows the incidence of bowel cancer in Australia is set to rise to 21,000 cases a year in the next decade. The council is using the research to renew its call for the Federal Government to fully fund and implement the national bowel cancer screening program.
    The national screening program currently targets people turning 50, 55 and 65, despite expert recommendations that everyone over 50 should be screened. The data also shows one in five cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage, due to a lack of screening.
