Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers. Screening – which you do in private at home – can help prevent bowel cancer or find it at an early stage when it’s easier to treat.
NHS bowel cancer screening is available to everyone aged 56, and 60 to 74, and is being phased in for 58-year-olds. You can hear stories from some Londoners who have done their bowel cancer screening test by watching our video below. The free NHS bowel cancer screening kit allows you to collect a small sample of poo which you post back to the NHS from a regular postbox .
The samples are checked in a lab for tiny amounts of blood. Blood can be a sign of polyps or bowel cancer. Polyps are growths in the bowel which are not cancer, but may turn into cancer over time. Finding polyps early allows them to be removed before any issues arise. NHS bowel cancer screening kits are for people with no symptoms and most people get the all-clear. If you are sent an NHS bowel cancer screening kit, please use it. It could stop cancer before it starts.
