1 in 13 of us will get bowel cancer. Over 68,000 patients’ outcomes. 19 years of data. One funding gap away from going dark. BCOR pauses on 18 Dec. Did you know this was at risk? #SaveBCOR #ClinicalRegistries @ACSQHC @Monash_SPHPM @RACSurgeons

Bowel cancer diagnoses in Australians under 50 are up almost 140% in 30 years (AIHW). BCOR tracks their care and outcomes, and it’s at risk of losing its funding. Tag someone under 40. #SaveBCOR #NeverTooYoung @BowelCancerAust
