Citando:
"A one-off screening test being introduced across the NHS cuts the risk of developing bowel cancer by a third, a long-term study has found.
The test, which is being rolled out across England, will invite men and women to have bowel scope screening around the time of their 55th birthday.
This is in addition to the current test from the age of 60, the faecal occult blood test (FOB), which is posted to people’s homes.
FOB detects blood hidden in small samples of faeces, with further tests recommended if blood is detected."
