Ciarán Devane, Chief Executive of Macmillan Cancer Support, says:
“We are delighted that the Government is helping to raise awareness of bowel cancer by launching the ‘Be Clear on Cancer’ campaign. “We all know that early diagnosis saves lives. If you diagnose bowel cancer early, nine times out of ten you will live at least five years. Diagnose it late, and it is only one in ten who live that long. “It is therefore vital that people know the signs and symptoms to look for as bowel cancer can be treated effectively if it is caught early on. We hope that this campaign will result in more people being diagnosed at an early stage so that they are able to access treatment promptly.”
