Cancer is BAD
21% of deaths worldwide(WHO Mortality Database, 2010)
30% of deaths in Australia(ABS Causes of Death, Australia, 2012)

COLORECTAL Cancer is
REALLY BadSecond worst cancer
Seventh biggest cause of death(ABS Causes of Death, Australia, 2012)

LATE STAGE Colorectal Cancer is really, REALLY bad
5 year survival
Early stage: 90% Mid Stage: 70%
Late Stage: 13%!(ACS, Cancer Facts and Figures 2014)
