This report compares mortality outcomes and cancer characteristics for two populations: those invited to screen in the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program in 2006–2010, and those of a similar age who were not invited in that time period.
Of the bowel cancer diagnoses, non-invitees had a 13% higher risk of dying from bowel cancer than invitees, and cancers in non-invitees were more likely to be more advanced.
