This “Y is it so” episode is about awareness of Bowel Cancer and why men have difficulty in talking to their GP about it, and arranging a simple and non invasive check. Men are not the only people who get Bowel Cancer, BUT IT IS MEN, that are most likely not to be checked out. We are fortunate to have Professor Craig Lynch, as our guest to introduce us to the changes in methodologies, medicines & testing procedures over the last 10 or so years and to debunk the misinformation about this problem. The main theme is that if you are diagnosed as positive, the earlier it is detected, the better the results in beating the problem. Professor Lynch, who actually carried out the first robotic colorectal procedure in Australia back in 2009, explains every-thing in layman's language making it simpler to understand for all of us. I’m sure you will find this episode informative.
