Dr. Robin Clark highlights anaemia as a subtle sign of bowel cancer, urging prompt GP checks for any symptoms.

Dr. Robin Clark warns of a subtle symptom of bowel cancer: internal bleeding leading to anaemia, which affects around 44,000 new UK cases yearly. Anaemia symptoms include shortness of breath, heart palpitations, and pale skin. Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer and second deadliest in the UK, causing about 16,800 deaths annually. Early detection is crucial, so any changes in bowel habits or symptoms should be checked by a GP urgently.
