Researchers say it's crucial to know these 'red flag signs'
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.
Catching the disease often means there's a better chance of treating it, so it's vital to be clued up on the red flag signs. Two of these red flag symptoms - rectal bleeding and iron deficiency anemia - are especially significant as it means patients should get checked out via an endoscopy. "It’s also crucial to spread awareness among primary care doctors, gastroenterologists and emergency medicine doctors.
These late diagnoses can sadly mean the cancer is untreatable, leading to death - therefore it's important for young adults to be aware of the signs.
