Australia extends bowel cancer screening to 45-49 year-olds with $38.8m budget allocation.
Bowel cancer screening has been extended to people aged 45-49 in Australia, following the federal government's allocation of $38.8m in the recent budget. This move comes as an opt-in system, with people under 50 who choose to opt in receiving a test every two years. The extension is a result of increasing cases of bowel cancer in individuals under 50 and is welcomed by bowel cancer campaigners.
