With respect to the group that does care (not all of them are without incentive to do good in their patient populations) they will use this device, and the companies are selling a bunch of them. It has been suggested that this change in their behavior, the first of significance in 5 decades, is less about doing what is right, and more about creating a new profit center in their practices - the oral caner screening process. I will refrain from comment, as I feel the end result will be the same. More people will get screened regardless of motivation, and more disease will be found early.

Also please note that as a very vocal organization about all this, OCF has effected some of this change. Much of my time is spent lobbying wiht the organizations involved in the entire process from the CDC to the ADA and everyone in between. Do not think that when I get the attention of several thousand doctors at a meeting and speak to the issues of non compliance with any screening effort, lawsuits for failure to daignose, and more, that they ignore the issue. Change does not happen overnight, but it does happen if you hammer on it enough with the right incentives.
