title: The importance of improving awareness of colorectal cancer.
abstract: The function of the bowel and the incidence of bowel cancer are issues that we do not want to think about. Embarrassment around the symptoms, ignorance, and fear, are barriers that need to be overcome in order to reduce the number of people affected by the disease. Colon Cancer Concern's awareness campaign aims to start members of the public talking about this killer disease and acting upon their concerns.
