At Let's Beat Bowel Cancer, we’re on a mission to reduce the incidence of bowel cancer – a condition that kills almost 5,000 Australians every year.

An initiative of Cabrini Health, Let's Beat Bowel Cancer is a not-for-profit, community awareness program dedicated to saving lives through improved bowel cancer research, education and prevention.

We know it’s possible to save many lives, because even though bowel cancer is the second greatest cause of cancer-related death in Australia – and the country’s most prevalent internal cancer in men and women – it is also the most preventable.

In fact, if all people over 50 did an annual home FOBtest – a simple, non-invasive test that can detect the early signs of bowel cancer – we could virtually say goodbye to bowel cancer, forever!

If you have a family history of bowel cancer, blood in your stool or any other symptoms, please consult your doctor as soon as possible.

Please take some time out to look around this web site, which explains more about bowel cancer, screening and prevention… it could save your life.

“We have the capacity to prevent and diagnose bowel cancer at an early stage and save many lives. Screening of people without symptoms and early investigation of those with symptoms can lead us down the path to ultimately eradicating the disease. We really can beat bowel cancer”.

Professor Adrian Polglase, Chair of Surgery, Cabrini Monash University Department of Surgery and Chairman of Let’s Beat Bowel Cancer.
