Hi,
Sorry I missed this thread till now.
Hematuria screening for high risk populations is advocated now by the AUA; no, it's not cost effective to screen the whole population if there are no symptoms, it's been shown that only 5% of people with hematuria will have bladder cancer and something like 0.1% with no hematuria will have it.
The Society for Gynecological INvestigation reported that all the women diagnosed with bladder malignancy had hematuria.
We do have flyers and pages that are downloadable; if you check WebCafe's 'awareness and advocacy' section you can find these, and see that there have been a number of women working on bringing the news out:
blcwebcafe.org/awarenesscampaign.asp
also see our 'Women and Bladder Cancer" section on the main site:
blcwebcafe.org/womenandbladdercancer.asp
There are changes on the horizon; I promise you that.
Wendy
