Most people only think about bowel cancer when something changes, or when an NHS screening letter arrives. If you are younger than the routine screening age and you feel well, it is hard to know what proactive actually looks like.
This test estimates your lifetime genetic risk of colorectal (bowel) cancer using a Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) from a saliva swab. It gives you a clearer starting point for prevention choices and for deciding when it may be worth discussing screening with a clinician, supported by a personalised, evidence-led plan focused on practical risk reduction.
If you want clarity rather than guesswork, this test is a straightforward way to understand your genetic risk and act with more confidence.

What the Colorectal (Bowel) Cancer Risk test is for
Don’t wait for symptoms. Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK - and the second biggest cancer killer. But it doesn’t have to be.
With the Colorectal Cancer Risk Home Test Kit & Prevention Plan , you can take a proactive, preventative approach to your bowel health, starting from home. This test uses advanced genetic screening (via saliva) to calculate your Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) - an estimate of your lifetime genetic risk of developing colorectal cancer.
But we don’t just hand you a number and send you on your way. Your results come with a tailored prevention plan, built around the latest science to support early intervention, lifestyle changes, and smarter health decisions.
This test is for people who want to act early, not react late. It’s about reassurance, insight, and power—because knowledge really can save lives.

How this works ›Why take the Colorectal (Bowel) Cancer Risk test?
- Colorectal cancer kills over 16,800 people in the UK each year - more than breast or prostate cancer (Cancer Research UK, 2023).
- 1 in 15 men and 1 in 18 women will be diagnosed with bowel cancer in their lifetime (Bowel Cancer UK, 2023).
- Screening is not routinely offered until age 60 in England - yet over 2,500 people under 50 are diagnosed each year (Bowel Cancer UK, 2023).
- This test identifies your genetic risk early, even before any symptoms arise, giving you the opportunity to act now.
- Comes with a bespoke prevention plan to guide you on lifestyle adjustments, screenings, and risk-reduction strategies.
- Discreet and convenient - collect your sample from home, no appointments or referrals needed.
- Gain peace of mind or early warning signs - both are priceless.
- Are under the routine NHS bowel screening age (e.g. under 60 in England) and want to decide whether to discuss earlier screening with a clinician
- Want a personalised prevention plan to reduce colorectal cancer risk through lifestyle and screening choices
- Want to understand your lifetime genetic risk of colorectal (bowel) cancer before symptoms appear
