This is particularly significant for bowel cancer, as people with Lynch syndrome have a much higher risk of developing the disease. It’s an exciting step forward for cancer prevention research, and another reminder of why continued investment in research matters so much.

We’re so sorry to hear that Kanya King CBE, founder of the MOBO Awards, has died at just 57, more than a year after sharing that she had been diagnosed with colon cancer. What a legacy she leaves behind - a true trailblazer who changed British music and culture for the better.

Everyone at GUTS wishes former Ipswich Town Chairman David Sheepshanks all the best for a full recovery following his bowel cancer surgery. David delayed taking a bowel cancer screening test, and urges others not to do the same. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c794…

We're a small charity who want to improve bowel cancer survival through better screening, earlier detection, improved care, research and awareness. We simply couldn't do what we do without our volunteers.
