How we produce our information|

Bowel cancer screening

This section gives information to help you understand how bowel cancer screening is done, the risks and benefits of screening, and what happens if you have an abnormal test result. We hope that it answers some of the questions you may have about bowel screening, and gives an idea of the tests and treatment you may have if the result of your bowel screening test is abnormal.
