National bowel cancer screening saving lives

National bowel cancer screening saving lives 29 Jul 2021 12:24 PM More Related Stories Related Podcast Health Minister Andrew Little says the national bowel screening programme has already detected more than 1000 New Zealanders with bowel cancer. The programme started in 2017 and is now in 17 of the 20 district health board areas. Mr Little says New Zealand has one of the highest rates of bowel cancer in the developed world, and it’s this country’s second-most-common cause of death from cancer, with 100 deaths a month. The programme is starting to reduce that toll. Thirty-nine per cent of the cancers found have been in the early stages, where there is a 95 per cent chance of patients living at least another five years.
