Charity warns wide variations in bowel cancer death rates must not be ignored
Beating Bowel Cancer calculates that over 5,000 lives could be saved every year
Figures issued today by Beating Bowel Cancer reveal that bowel cancer death rates vary significantly across the UK, depending on where you live.
These latest statistics released by the charity show that there is a three-fold variation in bowel cancer death rates between the best and worst performing areas across the UK. However, even the lowest death rates are deemed too high by the charity as bowel cancer continues to be the UK’s second biggest cancer killer.
