  schema:description "The NHS posts a home test for hidden blood in the poo to everyone aged 50 to 74 in England every two years. Most people are told no further tests are needed; if blood is found they are offered a colonoscopy. It is the only NHS cancer screening programme that can prevent the cancer as well as find it early, because the colonoscopy removes the polyps."@en ;
