What is the death rate for young people with bowel cancer?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Difficult to say: Bowel cancer prognosis (Large or small bowel) depends on the stage at the time of diagnosis, regardless of the age of the patient. The younger the patient the more aggressive the cancer is.
