Summary
Bowel cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in Australia. While the average lifetime risk is 1 in 20, this is a great difference in individual risks. Screening and early detection can prevent 90% of bowel cancer deaths. We need to know who is at high-risk and therefore can be targeted for screening. In this project, I will develop the first tool that can predict precisely an individual’s personal risk of bowel cancer.
