Random selection may account for some lives saved by cancer test
CHICAGO one third to one half of lives saved by a new used colon cancer test may result from the test's random selection of people for further exams. The $5 fecal blood test reduced the death rate from colon cancer in a Minnesota study, but researchers warn its high false positive rate makes it a haphazard method for selecting patients for colonoscopy. They project mass screening may cost over $3 billion annually and propose sigmoidoscopy as a cheaper alternative to save about one third of projected deaths.
