Men and women aged 60-69 across South Gloucestershire are being urged to take the NHS Bowel Cancer Screening test when they are offered it.
Bowel cancer is the third most common cancer in the UK and the second leading cause of cancer deaths.
The screening programme aims to detect bowel cancer early, when treatment is more likely to be effective. For more information call 0800 707 6060 or visit http://tinyurl.com/23hqqha
