Recent screening studies with fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) report that one of three patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) can be cured of the disease; minimal attention has been given to the two of three patients who despite repeated screening go on to die of silent CRC. We report the known "miss rate" (known false negatives) of our 14-year ongoing program of FOBT that was organized in 1979 to detect early CRC.
