Dr. Victor Gilbertsen of the University of Minnesota's Cancer Detection Center argues early cancer detection can save many lives through education and screening. A Minnesota stool test program shows 6% positivity from 30,000 samples, with 20% tumors removed and half of remainder with polyps or ulcers, and the low cost of 10 cents aids early diagnosis.
