Screening for bowel cancer must include general population, not just those at risk
If screening for bowel cancer is to get the go-ahead, it must include everyone, not just those with a family history, who are known to be at increased risk, reports research in the Journal of Medical Screening. The government is known to be considering setting up a nationwide screening programme for bowel cancer, and pilot studies are already... view more... (2001-06-29)
Low folate levels may cut bowel cancer risk
Low levels of folate, a B vitamin found in fruits and leafy green vegetables, may cut the risk of bowel cancer, suggests research published ahead of print in the journal Gut. view more (2006-04-25)
New method proposed for determining which patients should get treatment for colorectal cancer
A new study being presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting in Chicago (Abstract #4020), may change treatment practice in about 25 percent of patients with colon cancer and is the basis for proposed changes to the way colorectal cancers will be staged. view more (2008-05-19)

Academics are to look at ways to encourage Scots to take part in a new national screening programme for bowel cancer, a leading cause of cancer deaths in Western nations. view more (2005-11-01)
Bowel cancer screening halves emergency admissions and cuts deaths
Bowel cancer screening halves emergency admissions for the disease and significantly cuts death rates, reveal the fifth year results from one of the first UK pilot sites. view more (2007-12-03)
UK's two week urgent referral standard for suspected bowel cancer hampered by system delays
The two week maximum wait to see a specialist for UK patients with suspected bowel cancer does not seem to be working well, if the results of one hospital's audit are anything to go by, suggests research in Gut. Although patients referred to the two week clinics were seen more quickly than patients referred elsewhere, they were not treated any... view more... (2004-02-11)
TNF-alpha antagonist stops inflammation-induced colon cancer in its tracks
Individuals with the inflammatory bowel disease ulcerative colitis are at increased risk of developing colon cancer. New data generated by Naofumi Mukaida and colleagues at Kanazawa University, Japan, identified a central role for the soluble factor TNF-alpha in the development of colon cancer in mice in which inflammation of the bowel was induced... view more...

High calorie diet seems to increase chances of surviving bowel cancer for longer
A high calorie diet seems to increase the chances of surviving bowel cancer for longer, suggests research in Gut. Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in the West, and is strongly linked to dietary factors, especially high intakes of red meat, fat, and refined sugars. Survival rates are generally poor, with less than half of those... view more... (2003-05-09)
Fear of insurance rejection deters potentially life saving genetic tests for bowel cancer
An Australian study of families with genetic risk of bowel cancer has found that 50 percent of participants declined genetic testing when informed of insurance implications. view more (2009-09-08)
Managing Colorectal Cancers In The NHS
How best to detect and manage bowel cancer is the subject of the latest issue of EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE. Colorectal (bowel) cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in England and Wales. Early detection and good management result in improved survival rates. Improvements have been made in the provision of services and treatment of... view more... (2004-06-28)
Harrowing bowel preparation is unnecessary before colorectal surgery
Research news from The Cochrane Library Surgeons and other experts have long regarded mechanical bowel preparation to be an essential preventative measure before colorectal surgery. Recent evidence in The Cochrane Library, however, reveals that mechanical bowel cleansing does not significantly decrease the risk of anastomotic leakage or other... view more... (2003-10-20)
Eating plenty of fruit in childhood may protect against cancer in adulthood
A childhood diet rich in fruit may protect against the development of certain cancers in later life, suggests a long term study of almost 4,000 people in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. The researchers based their findings on a 60 year follow up of a group of people who had completed a week's household food inventory during the... view more... (2003-02-18)
Dietary Fibre May Not Prevent Bowel Cancer
Eating a high fibre diet does not necessarily prevent bowel cancer, according to a new study published today in the International Journal of Epidemiology (IJE), edited in the Department of Social Medicine at the University of Bristol. However, such a diet may be good for preventing other chronic diseases, such as heart disease. Researchers from... view more... (2003-04-30)

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in most developed countries. view more (2005-10-11)
High salicylic acid content in fruits and vegetables may explain protection from heart disease among vegetarians
The high salicylic acid content of fruits and vegetables may explain why vegetarians suffer less heart disease and bowel cancer than meat-eaters, suggests research in the Journal of Clinical Pathology. Salicylic acid is the main anti-inflammatory component of aspirin, which is widely prescribed to reduce the risk of heart attacks. Research also... view more... (2001-06-26)
Alcohol and smoking are key causes for bowel cancer
A new global study has found that lifestyle risk factors such as alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking are important risk factors for bowel cancer. view more (2009-06-02)
Bowel cancer indicator should lead to better treatment
STEM cell scientists have developed a more accurate way of identifying aggressive forms of bowel cancer, which should eventually lead to better treatment and survival rates. view more (2008-08-20)
Stem cell indicator for bowel cancer should lead to better survival rates
Stem cell scientists have developed a more accurate way of identifying aggressive forms of bowel cancer, which should eventually lead to better treatment and survival rates. Bowel cancer is the third most common cancer in the UK. view more (2008-08-20)
C-diff infection 4 times more likely to kill patients with inflammatory bowel disease
