M?ori are more likely than non-M?ori to die from bowel cancer, partly because M?ori are more likely to be diagnosed with bowel cancer at an advanced stage when Information technology is more difficult to treat. This free National Bowel Screening Programme aims to save lives by detecting bowel cancer at an early stage, when Information technology can often be prosperously treated and has a focus on initiatives that drive equitable participation for all population groups. How does Bowel Screening save lives? International evidence shows that bowel screening programmes can save lives through early diagnosis and treatment of bowel cancer. There may be no warning signs that bowel cancer is developing. Where cancers are diagnosed through services that treat people who already have symptoms of bowel cancer, only about 40% are found at an early stage. Bowel Screening has health, social and economic benefits. Early identification and treatment results in better results for those with bowel cancer and lower treatment costs when compared to the cost of treating more advanced cancers. A bowel screening programme that has equal screening and follow-up rates for M?ori and non-M?ori could reduce inequities through early diagnosis and treatment. The National Bowel Screening Programme has a focus on driving initiatives that support equitable participation for all population groups.
