Bowel cancer symptoms and risk factors should be kept an eye no matter your age, according to an expert.
Catherine Winsor, the director of Bowel Cancer UK, says there's no clear reason why or why not some people develop the UK's second deadliest cancer.
Age is one factor as she says the "vast majority" of people diagnosed are over 50, so are a "signifiant" number of people younger than that - about 2,600 a year.
