What Is Bowel Cancer- Bowel cancer is cancer that's found anywhere in the large bowel, which includes the colon and rectum.
- The large bowel is part of your digestive system. It helps absorb water from your food and removes food waste from your body.
- How serious bowel cancer is depends on how big the cancer is, if the cancer has spread and your general health.
- Bowel cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the UK.
- Bowel cancer screening can pick up bowel cancer early, which may mean it's easier to treat.
