About bowel cancer
Bowel cancer is a general term for cancer that begins in the large bowel. Depending on where the cancer starts, bowel cancer is sometimes called colon or rectal cancer.
Cancer can sometimes start in the small bowel (small intestine), but small bowel cancer is much rarer than large bowel cancer.
Bowel cancer is becoming one of the most common types of cancer diagnosed in Zimbabwe.
Signs and symptoms
The 3 main symptoms of bowel cancer are:
- blood in the stools (faeces)
- changes in bowel habit – such as more frequent
- looser stools – and abdominal (tummy) pain.
However, these symptoms are very common and most people with them do not have bowel cancer. For example, blood in the stools is more often caused by haemorrhoids (piles), and a change in bowel habit or abdominal pain is usually the result of something you have eaten.
When you experience any of the symptoms above, you may want to screen for bowel cancer, just in case.
