National Bowel Cancer Audit 2011: This national audit has found that about a quarter of bowel cancer patients
in England are only diagnosed with the disease after an emergency admission to hospital. This equates to about 8,000 out of 31,000 patients admitted in a 12 month period, whose records were analysed by the National Bowel Cancer Audit and linked for the first time with hospital data (Hospital Episode Statistics).
