Where do we stand with screening right now? Utilization is really pretty poor, pretty low. This is from the BRFSS, the latest one in 1997. About 20% of people report having had a fecal occult blood test in the last year. About 30% report having had a flex sig or a procto in the previous five years. So we really screen a fairly small segment of those eligible in the population. |
