Bowel/Colon Cancer
Cancer of the colon or rectum (large bowel) is a common form of
cancer. After the lung, the colon is the most common site of cancer
affecting both men and women. It is also the second most common
cause of death from cancer. About one person in 27 develops a colorectal
(large bowel) cancer. The disease becomes more common with age and
is rare before the age of 40. It occurs most frequently in the age
group 60 to 75.
We offer a simple test to determine any abnormalities
in your stool sample.
Prostrate Cancer
The prostate is a small gland about the size of a walnut situated
at the base of the bladder. It is only found in men and secretes
a white fluid called semen which mixes with sperm when a man ejaculates.
Around 20,000 new cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed each year
in the UK. It is rare below the age of 45 but quite common in men
over 80. It is an unusual cancer because in some (usually older
men) it affects only a small area of the prostate and grows so slowly
it may never need treatment and does not cause symptoms. In others
(usually younger men) it causes more symptoms and can spread outside
the prostate (usually to the bones) if the cancer is more aggressive.
We offer a simple blood test to determine any abnormalities
in your sample.
