Young people are being urged to identify some of the early symptoms of bowel cancer as it could help the disease be diagnosed much earlier.
The disease also known as colorectal cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the UK, according to the NHS. Case numbers in young people have "nearly doubled" in recent years, although people are usually more at risk of developing bowel cancer if they're over the age of 50.
That's according to a new study by scientists at the Washington University School of Medicine, who have outlined some of the key symptoms that young adults should be keeping an eye out for.
