Knowing your family history of bowel cancer might just save your life.

Know Your Risk is a simple and interactive website that guides you through a series of steps to build a family tree of close relatives whose history may impact your risk of bowel cancer.

The website prompts you to record which of your relatives has had bowel cancer and the age they were diagnosed.

After you have recorded relevant family history, you will receive a personalised assessment of your risk, and if elevated, you will be able to download a letter and a copy of your family history to take and discuss with your GP.

‘Know Your Risk’ online tool is currently being upgraded and will be available soon.

It might just save your life.
