Bowel cancer samples that have been stored for up to a century will be analysed to try to solve the mysterious rise of the disease in young people.

Scientists at St Mark’s The National Bowel Hospital are now going through advanced scientific analysis to understand what caused each cancer and what’s changed over the decades.
