A new scientific analysis shows that bowel cancer deaths are expected to increase by 2,500 per year by 2040.

. Experts believe the growing elderly population is the primary driver of the increase, but they admit there are rising numbers among the young.The Bowelbabe Fund, established in memory of Deborah James, released an analysis projecting that if current trends continue, bowel cancer cases will rise from 42,800 to 47,700.

As a result of Dame Deborah’s ardent support, the Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK was established in May 2022 to carry on her legacy. The fund has committed £10 million to support seven innovative projects that are helping to give more people more time with the people they love, after raising £13 million to fight bowel cancer.

Deborah was only 35 years old when she was diagnosed with bowel cancer, a type of cancer that is on the rise but is poorly understood.
