Bowel cancer is a change in the cellular behaviour of the lining of the wall of the large intestine.
00:13
We lose every single one of the cells lining our entire intestine, small and large bowel,
00:21
many metres, every 10 days, not all at once.
00:25
So your bowel motion consists of waste product, bacteria and dead cells.
00:32
For every cell you lose, you get a new one, one for one, all good.
00:38
One cell says, "I ain't going."
00:41
It stays there and it divides and it becomes two and they become four and they become 8,
00:48
16, 32.
00:50
So you have an exponential rate of growth of abnormal cells which at that stage, mushroom-shaped,
00:57
is called a polyp.
00:59
Polyps are benign.
01:00
40% of men, 30% of women, most don't turn to cancer but the cancers all come from the
01:08
polyps.
01:09
If they keep growing, they grow slowly but probably a minimum of 5 years mostly, can
01:18
get them quickly but mostly 5 years before they might turn to a cancer.
01:23
So we have time on our side to find them.
