Experts are warning that early symptoms of bowel cancer are being missed in younger people as a new study has identified four 'red flag' symptoms that can be seen in patients under the age of 50.
The new study suggests these symptoms can be identified months before diagnosis of the disease that sees around 43,000 new cases ay year and is the fourth most common type of cancer in the UK.
the Express reports there are four key symptoms that signal an elevated risk of early-onset bowel cancer, amd researcher say these red flags may hold the answer to earlier detection and diagnosis of early-onset colorectal cancer among younger adults - with more than half of bowel cancer cases (54%) in the UK are thought to be preventable.
