COMING UP NEXT ON ARIZONA HORIZON ANNOUNCE AM REGARDING SEMI CONDUCTOR MARRING IN A MASSIVE SHIP MAKING PLANT.

TONIGHT A LOOK AT THE STATE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY IN ARIZONA.

A NEW WAY TO DETECT COLORECTAL CANCER IS UP FOR FD APPROVAL.

THAT AND MORE NEXT ON ARIZONA HORIZON >> AND WELCOME TO ARIZONA HORIZON I'M TED SIMONS THE SUPREME COURT IS STOAT ANNOUNCE THE RULE NOTHING AN ANTICIPATED ABORTION CASE DECIDE IF ABORTIONS WILL BE ALLOWED FOR UP TO 15 WEEKS AS PER LEGISLATION OR A TERRITORIAL LAW BANNING ALL IS THE LAW OF THE LAND.

COURT IS EXPECTED TO MAKE ANNOUNCEMENT AT 10 O'CLOCK.

COURT OF APPEALS RULED THAT THE 15 WEEK LOSS IN 2022 SUPERCEDE THE BAB.

DECISION TOMORROW 6 OF 7 JUSTICES TAKING PART THE 7TH ATTORNEY MONT GOM ROW RECUSED HIMSELF AFTER ACCUSED OF ANTIABORTION BIASSED.

WITH 6, A TIE WOULD MEAN THE APPEALO COURT RULING STAND AND IT IS 15 WEEK LAW HOLDS >> OTHER HEAD LINES A TAIWAN ACCEPT I CONDUCTOR PLANT WILL GET BIRTH AS A THIRD FACTORY BRING INVESTMENTS TO SKIMP BILLION DOLLARS.

AFTER 6.6 BILLION GRANT WITH 5.5 IN LOANS FROM THE FEDERAL CHIPS AND SCIENCE ACT.

THE SENATOR SAID THE EXPANSION WILL STRENGTHEN SECURITY BRING CRITICAL SUPPLY CHAINS BACK FROM OVER ACCESS THE WHITE HOUSE SAID TUESDAY POSITION ARIZONA TO BE A WORLD LEADER FOR DECADES HAD IT COME TO MICROCHAMPIONSHIP AND INNOVATION.

>> AND LOTS OF A'S THE PARTIAL SOLAR ECLIPSE THROUGH ARIZONA THE PEEK AT 11. .

2064% OF THE SUN BLOCKED OUT AND 70% IN TUCSON, WHAT YOU SEE IS A TOTAL ECLIPSE IN PARTS INCLUDING ENEMY INSPECT PLAINS OF TEXAS THE MIDWEST AND UP IN NEW ENGLAND.

THE NEXT CHANCE TO SEE A TOTAL ECLIPSE IN NORTH AMERICA IS 20 FOR.

THE MANY EVENTS DURING THE ECLIPSE A MASS WED NOTHING RUSSELLVILLE, ARKANSAS 358 COUPLES GOT MARRIED IT WAS ELOPE AT THE ECLIPSE AND CONDUCTED BEFORE THE SKIES ABOVE STARTED TO DARKEN.

>> AS WE MENTIONED THE TAIWAN WHICHEVERING PLANT IN PHOENIX ADD A THIRD FACTLY A SICK.6 BILLION DOLLARS GRANT FROM THE CHIPS AND SCIENCE ACT.

GOAL TO INCREASE SECURITY.

BY IMPROVING THE SEMI CONDUCTOR SUPPLY CHAINS JOINING US IS ROGERS THE SCHOOL BUSINESS THE GO TO GUY WITH SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES.

>> HOW BIG A DEAL IS HAD?

A BIG DEAL.

I'M NOT SURPRISED THEY HAD ONE LOCATION FOR ALL IN THEIR HUGE PERCENTAGE OF THE WORLD'S HIGH END MICROPROCESSORS MAKES SENSE WHEN THE SECOND LOCATION THEY WOULD PUT A LOT OF CAPACITY IN THE SAME PLACE THEY LIKE THAT KIND OF -- THAT MODEL.

AND I THINK THEY LIKE WHAT THEY SEE >> LIKE WHAT THEY SEE.

WHAT IS THIS TAIWAN.

GIVE US A BACKGROUNDS ON THIS COMPANY?

>> IT IS INTERESTING COMPANY BECAUSE 20 YEARS AGO THEY TOOK A DIFFERENT SLANT.

AND THEIR BOSS MORRIS CHANG CAME FROM TEXAS INSTRUMENTS MADE LOWER END SEMI CONDUCTORS AND THE TAIWAN GOVERNMENT SAID WE'LL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT.

AND HE IS ORIGINALLY A NATIVE OF CHINA COME BACK TO TAIWAN.

AND HE SAID I WANT TO DO A DIFFERENT MODEL.

THE INTELS AND AND'S I'M GOING TO BE A FOUNDRY A CONTTRACT MARKER.

GENERALLY DOES NOT DESIGN THEIR OWN CHIPS OTHERS DESIGN.

IF YOU HAVE AN APPLE COMPUTER.

YOUR PROCESSOR WAS DESIGNED BY APPLE BUT MADE BYT SMC IT HAS BEEN BRILLIANT TO BE THE MANUFACTURER OPPOSED INTEL IS WHICH WAS THE MAIN THING YEARS AGO.

IN A DEVICE MANUFACTURER IDM WHERE THEY DID EVERYTHING.

SOUP TO NUT AND SPECIALIZE NOTHING MANUFACTURING.

>> INTERESTING.

HOW DID THAT YOU TOLD A STORY HERE BUT HOW DID THE U.S. WOULD SEEM LIKE THE KUTH EDGE OF THE INO VISION AND TOPS AND POP3 WHEN IT COME TO THIS .

HOW DO WE GET SO FAR BEHIND IN MANUFACTURING?

>> IT IST SMC BECAUSE HAY ONLY FOCUSED ON THAT.

YOU KNOW IT IS HARD TO DO EVERYTHING WHEN YOU ARE A COMPANY.

SO INTEL, A GREAT COMPANY AND I WAS TELLING YOU I HAD AN INTEL SPEAK IN MY CLASS WE LOVE INTEL.

INTEL WAS TRYING TO DOT WHOLE THING.

AND CAPITOL DOLLARS ARE SO HIGH.

YOU JUST MENTIONED 65 BILLION?

AND THAT'S A HUGE INVESTMENT THEY SAID WE WILL FOCUS HERE TO HERE ON THE MANUFACTURING.

AND IF YOU LOOK IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR A LONG TIME WHERE PEOPLE FOCUS ON YOU KNOW DEVELOPING THE BRAND.

DESIGNING THE PRODUCT.

19 DOES NOT MAKE THEIR OWN SHOES THEY HAVE FACTORIES.

THEY SAID A LONG TIME AGO, WE'LL BE RIGHT HERE BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE GIVINGUM FABS FABRICATION PLANTS BECAUSE THEY ARE EXPENSIVE.

>> RIGHT.

>> AND SO THEY OTHER MANUFACTURER FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD >> AND THEY ARE HERE NOW AND THEY ARE.

>> RIGHT.

>> FOOTPRINT IS GETTING LARGER WHY HERE?

>> THERE IS A LOT OF REASONS.

ONE THING WE HAVE A HUGE MASS ALREADY.

WE ARE NOT VERY EXPENSEEF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WHERE CHIP COMPANIES HAVE BEEN FOR A LONG TIME INCLUDING INTEL HEADQUARTERED THERE.

MOST OF INTEL EMPLOYEES ARE HERE IN THE VALLEY.

YOU YEA.

AUSTIN, TEXAS IS ANOTHER BIG PLACE.

AND IN IS GOING TO BE SOUND CRAZY WHAT I WILL SAY BUT YOU NEED A LOT OF WATER WHEN YOU MAKE SEMI CONDUCTORS.

WE HAVE THE CHEAPEST WATER OF ANY AMERICAN CITIEEN THOUGH WE DON'T HAVE MUCH.

I THAN IS CRAZY BUT THAT WAS A PART OF THE DECISION ALONG WITH THE ESTABLISHED BASE OF SEMI CONDUCTORS ALREADY >> IF WATER GETS SCARCE AND MORE EXPENSIVE WHAT HAPPENS OUT THERE IN THE NORTHWEST VALLEY?

>> I THINK THAT THE BELIEF IS THAT IT IS NOT GOING TO GET SCARCE.

IF IT DOES I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

WE WILL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO DEAL WITHOUT WATER >> SENATOR MARK KELLY MENTIONED SUPPLY CHAIN, YOU ARE THE GURU YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS WHAT DOES THIS MEAN AS FAR AS SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES IN THE SEMI CONDUCTOR INDUSTRY IN PARTICULAR IN THE ELECTRONIC'S INDUSTRY IN GENERAL?

>> MAKES A HUGE IMPACT.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS INTERESTING THAT WE DON'T TALK ABOUT MUCH WHEN YOU NEED THE ADVANCE MICROPROCESSORS THAT INTEL DOES ANDT SMC LIKES YOU NEED THE SMALLER CHIPS AS WELL.

THE 30-40 YEAR OLD TECHNOLOGY.

WE ARE NOT CREATING NEW 40, 50 YEAR OLD PLANTS WE ARE NOT INVESTING IN THOSE.

SO.

THIS DOES MAKE A HUGE IMPACT ON THE REAL HIGH END, I THINK.

BUT THERE IS STILL A CAPACITY ISSUE LOOKING FORWARD.

AS ALL THE PLANTS WHICH A LOT ARE IN CHINA WITH THE OLD TECHNOLOGY.

IF WE YOU KNOW CONTINUE TO DEGLOBALIZE WE ARE UNWISELY DOING.

>> THOSE THAT OLD TECHNOLOGY COULD BE NEW AGAIN AND COULD BE OPEN LANE.

>> YOU GOTTA HAVE THE CHIPS.

SO MY PROFESSORSHIP THE ON SEMI CONDUCTOR OF BUSINESS.

AND THE OLDS ANALOGUE SEMI CONDUCTOR PART OF MOTOR ROLLA.

THEY CAME A LONG TIME THE FIRST ONES.

AND SO, ON MAKES THE CHIPS.

YOU KNOW A CAR IS BASICALLY A COMPUTER THESE DAYS.

YOU NEED AND A PHONE AND YOU REALLY NEED ALL OF THOSE LITTLE CHIPS TO GO ALONG WITH THE ADVANCE PROCESSOR THERE ARE SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES WE HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT.

>> YOU CONFIDENT THEY WOULD BE FIGURED OUT?

>> IT IT IS A LOT OF DOLLARS, TED.

YOU KNOW.

THE PRICE OF A NEW ADVANCE I MEAN SKIMP UPON FWHANL IS WHAT THEY ARE SPENDING HERE.

YIEKS.

AND A NEW FAB.

I MEAN WHEN I WAS A YOUNG GUY THEY COST YOU KNOW 1 AND A HALF 2 BILLION YOU IN THEY ARE 20-25 AND TELL CONTINUE TO GO UP THAT IS A HUGE AMOUNT OF DOLLARS TO HAVE TO INVEST.

SO, GOSH, WE ARE SEEING INDUSTRY GETS FURTHER AND FURTHER CONCENTRATED YOU WANT ANOTHER PIECE OF THIS THE EQUIPMENT THAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THE ADVANCE CHIPS REALLY COME FROM ONE COMPANY.

AND THEY ARE THE NETHER LANDS NOT HERE.

>> AND I MEAN THEY DO HAVE REPS HERE BUT, WE HAVE MANY PLACES IN THAT SUPPLY CHAIN WHERE THERE IS NOT REDUNDANT CAPACITY.

>> SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, THANK YOU, GOOD INFORMATION >> GREAT TO BE WITH YOU.

ASA RESTAURANT INDUSTRY TOOK A HIT DURING THE PANDEMIC THEY BOUNCED BACK AND NOW LOOKING STRONGER THAN PRECOVID LEVELS FOR MORE WE WELCOME STEVE FROM THE RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION.

THINGS LOOK UP AND HAVE BEEN FOR AWHILE.

>> SINCE 2021 WE HAD DIFFICULT CONVERSATION IN 20 TWENTY WITH COVID HITTING HARD.

AS AS RESTAURANTS LOST A THOUSANDS INSTRUCTS THAT YEAR ON TOP OF 3 BILLION DOLLARS.

WORTH OF FINANCIAL LOSSES.

AND I'M PLEASED TO SAY WE MADE THAT YOU WANT AND MIGHT HIT 23 BILLION DOLLARS IN RESTAURANT SALES >> HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN >>, LOT IS PEOPLE MOVING HERE.

OUR POPULATION GROWTH IS GOING UP AND IN ADDITION WE GOT RESTAURANT CATHARSIS REALLY GETTING MORE IN THE EXPANSION PHASE.

ONE OR 2 LOCATIONS ARE EXPANDING.

WHEN YOU ADD THE NUMBERS OUR DAILY PAYROLL OVER 20 MILLION IN ARIZONA.

WITH ALMOST 300,000 PEOPLE WE EMPLOY AND 12,000 RESTAURANTS.

OF THE RESTAURANTS DOING WELL IS THERE A COMMON DENOMINATOR AND OF THOSE THAT ARE NOT DOING AS WELL AS THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE DEGREE IS THERE A COMMON DENOMINATOR THERE?

>> THERE IS AND THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL AND MAKE SURETY AMBIENCE AND SERVICE AND FOOD QUALITY IS THERE IF YOU MEAN ARE MISSING ON ANY LEVEL YOU ARE GOING WHERE YOU WILL NOT DO WELL.

SO IT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE CONSUMER TODAY ARE SELECTIVE IN WHAT THEY FINGERPRINT THEY DON'T GET IT THEY WILL GO ELSEWHERE.

JOT RESTAURANT SUCCEEDING WHAT DOES IT MEAN IN JABS AND WE TALKED ABOUT DIFFICULT WITH RESTAURANTS TRYING TO FIND FOLKS THAT DIFFICULTY THERE.

THE DIFFICULTY WANED FORTUNATELY POST COVID.

WE ARE PRIOR TO COVID NUMBERS AND GROWING OUR WORKFORCE FROM 300 THOUSAND.

NSHS AS RELATE TO WORKFORCE ARE IMPROVED.

TECHNOLOGY IMPACTING THE INDUSTRY IMPACTING THE LABOR FORCE >> 100%.

AI TECHNOLOGY THAT WILL TAKE OVER OUR DRIVE THROUGHS AND QUICK SERVICE >> WE GOT ROBOTIC ARMS IN THE RESTAURANTSES NOW.

TECHNOLOGY BE A KEY PART OF OUR FUTURE AS WE GROW >> DOES IT BECOME A KEY PART BECAUSE OF LABOR THOUGHTS.

THE ARIZONA COSTS AND WHERE YOU GO FROM HERE OUR RESTAURANTS CHANGING WHAT THEY DO BECAUSE OF THE LABOR COSTS >> SADLY.

THE CAPITOL IS THE BEST WE HAVE IN OUR INDUSTRY.

THERE ARE FAMILY MEMBERS AND EMPLOYEES ARE FAMILY MEMBERS.

WHEN LABOR CONTINUES TO GET EXPENSIVE YOU CAN'T PASS THAT ON TO PRICING THEY DON'T WANT $45 ON A BURGER IF THE DOLLAR CAN BALANCE THE EMPLOYEES TECHNOLOGY WILL BE A PART BEHALF WE DO.

>> AS FAR AS I KNOW THERE IS A LEGISLATION OUT THERE TIPPED WORKERS PAYING 25% 3 DOLLARS.

TELL ME WHAT IT IS NOW AND THE LEGISLATION CALLS FOR AND WHERE THE UPON RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION IS FOR THIS?

>> IT IS IN RESPONSE TO THE UNIONS TAKING AWAY THE TIP CREDIT AND CHANGE THE STRUCTURE.

WE ARE TRYING TO PRESERVE THE STATUS QUO AS THE TIPS WILL GROW THE MINIMUM WAGE SO WILL THE TIP CREDIT.

MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THEY WANT TO MAKE THE TIPS THEY ARE WORK NOTHING THIS LEGISLATION ALLOWS THEM TO DO THIS.

>> IS THIS ALSO A RESPONSE THROUGH A BALLOT FOR RAISING THE WAGE >> IT IS.

>> YEA.

>> CRITICS I GUESS THEY SAY IF IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO GET WORKERS OR YOU SAY THIS IS WANED.

SAY FIGURE THERE IS A PROBLEM THE PROBLEM IS THEY ARE NOT PAID ENOUGH.

HOW DO YOU RESPOND?

IF YOU LOOK AT THE ECONOMY YOU GET UBER DRIVERS THAT WE ARE ON COMPETITION WITH OTHER WORKFORCES.

SO NO, I SAY THAT IS POPPY UPON.

>> SO MANY RESTAURANTS AND SO MUCH GOING ON HOW DOES THAT COMPETITION PLAY IN TO EVERYTHING >> YOU HAVE TO BE GOOD OR WE HAVE A SAYING A SEAT AT TABLE OR YOU END UP ON THE PLATE.

IF YOU NORTH PERFORMING YOU WILL END UP ON THE PLATE.

DOES IT IMPACT WHICH RESTAURANTS OPEN?

HOW MANY EXPAND?

I SEE HOW RESTAURANTS ARE OPENING IT IS AMAZING >> SADLY YES IN CLOSING AS WELL.

WE LOOK AT ALL 4 SEGMENTS YOU SEE GROWTH FROM QUICK SERVICE IT FINE DINING.

THAT IS GOOD NOWS NOT ONE SEGMENT IS GOING.

ALL 4 HAVE YOU NEW FROM OUTSIDE THE STATE.

WHICH IS ANOTHER WELCOMED PIECE OF WHAT WE LIKE TO SEE IN OUR INDUSTRY.

NEW RESTAURANTS FROM A DIFFERENT PART OF THE COUNTRY.

WE ARE HEALTHY WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO BE AND OWE IT TO OUR CUSTOMERS IF WE ARE NOT PERFORMING THEY WILL NOT WALK THROUGH DOORS.

>> IS ARIZONA WERE FOR AWHILE WE WERE GETTING FANCY AS FAR AS THE HIGH END RESTAURANTS.

PEOPLE WERE LOOKING HERE AND SAY THINGS ARE HAPPENING OR ARE THEY ELECTRIC TO VEGAS.

>> WE ARE LOOKING WE ARE ATTRACTIVE TO MANY OTHER RESTAURANTS IN OTHER STATES WE HAVE DIVERSE PEOPLE FROM THE MIDWEST NOW INFLUENCE FROM CALIFORNIA AND THAT'S WHEN RESTAURANTS ARE LOOKING FOR THE DIVERSE PALETTE.

>> LAST QUESTION, INFLATION HOW IS THAT PLAYING IN EVERYTHING JOVM WE RESTEL WITH IT.

DIFFICULT.

>> INFLATIONARY PRECIOUS DRIVEN UP COSTS TO THE INDUSTRY AND COSTS WE MANAGED BUT SOME WE PASS ON BY PRICING.

>> AND PASS ON THAT TOO MUCH AND YOU GET YOUR LOSS OF BALANCE.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

YOU DON'T STRIKE THAT BALANCE.

THE INDUSTRY IS HEALTHY >> YES BUT WE HAVE STORMS IN THE FUTURE WE HAVE TO NAVIGATE AND MAKE SURE WE DOT BEST TO PROVIDE A WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT FOR GUESTS >> STORMS OF LABOR COSTS >> ARIZONA RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION, GOOD TO HAVE YOU AND A PLEASURE >> NICE TO SEE YOU.

>> EARLY DETECTION OF COLON CANCER CAN SAVE LIVES FEW ARE THAN 60% GET SCREENING AND WELL SAY BLOOD TEST WILL IMFRUIT NUMBERS THAT IS AWAITING FD APPROVAL.

THE DOCTOR GASTROINTESTION ONCOLOGIST AT THE CANCER CENTERS JOINS US NOW.

GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.

WE ARE TALKING WE THE FIRST CAME OUT.

YOU TALKED ABOUT THIS.

BECAUSE IT IS REVOLUTIONARY A BLOOD TEST FOR COLORECTAL CANCER.

>> RIGHT.

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING AWARENESS TO THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE ESPECIALLY WITH THE RISING INCIDENTS OF COLORECTAL CANCER IN YOUNG ADULTS.

YOU INDICATED 60%, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE A FIRST THE GOLD STANDARD IT IS LESS THAN 60% OF THEM THAT GET IT.

UPON FOR REASONS.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, YOU ALSO COMBINE IT WITH THE PEOPLE THAT UNDER GOING COLONOSCOPIES WE DECREASED THE AGE TO 45 WE ARE NOT HAVING AN UPDATE WITH WHAT WE WOULD LIKE WHICH IS 90 TO 100% ON SCREENING THIS IS ONE AADDITIONAL PIECE OF THE WHOLE OPTION THAT WE HAVE TO HELP OUR PATIENTS GET TESTED.

THIS IS THE FIRST BLOOD TEST LOOKING AT THE DNA WITHIN THE BLOOD TO DETECT COLON CANCER EARLIER.

>> THIS IS BIG.

YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A DNA BECAUSE THIS DNA IS VERY MUCH OR ALWAYS OR SOMETIMES ASSOCIATED WITH IT?

>> CORRECT >> IT IS A COMBINATION OF ALL OF THAT.

WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IN THE STUDY OF 10,000 PATIENTS THE SENSITIVITY IN THE SCREENING CAN 80 PERCENT, WHICH IS GREAT.

HOWEVER WHEN WE LOOK AT THE PRETENSE LESIONS THAT GO IN CANCER IN MAJORITY OF THE CASE THE DETECTION IS 13%.

NOW WHEN YOU COUNTER THIS WITH A STOOL DN ATTEST THAT IS 60% DETECTION.

SO ALTHOUGH THIS IS A GOOD SCREENING TEST THIS IS ONE OF THE TOOLS WE HAVE IN THE TOOL BOX AND AS MUCH AS THIS WOULD PROBABLY GET PARENTS WHO CAN DON'T TO THE DO A COLONOSCOPY WHO ARE THEY?

I HAD MINE A FEW YEARS AGO.

I DON'T REMEMBER I WAS OUT OF T. >> RIGHT.

JOT PREP WAS THE PART AND ALL MY PATIENTS MAJORITY TELL ME, I'M HAPPY TO DO THE COLONOSCOPY ONCE A YEAR BUT THE PREP IS WHAT REALLY TAKES IT OUT OF A LOT >> I ONCE A YEAR.

HOLY SMOKES THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING.

AGAIN YOU MENTIONED THE POLYPS AND SPOTS HOW IMPORTANT IS TO ZOO SEE THOSE A COLONOSCOPY IS GOLD STANDARD >> THAT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF YOU CAN'T RESCUE NOISE A POLYP WILL TURN CANCERROUS, AND YOU HAVE RECOGNIZE IT IN LESS THAN 15% OF THE TIME IT IS 85% OF THE TIMES YOU DON'T SEE T. THIS IS A DRAWBACK OF THE STUDY AND THE TEST ITSELF.

BUT AS TECHNOLOGY EVOLVES, RIGHT.

WE ARE LOOKING AT CIRCULATING DNA.

NOW LOOKING AT RNA AND EXO SO MANIES THAN I MAKE THE SENSITIVITY OF THE REASON WHY THE PRECANCEROUSING LESIONS ARE NOT DETECTED BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT IN THE DNA, ARE THEY SHEDDING SOMETHING ELSE?

IS THERE, YOU MENTIONED RNA, ARE THERE IS THIS WHERE YOU GO FOR THAT.

THAT WAS >> A TEST FOR COLON CANCER 6 YEARS AGO AND THAT IS A GREAT GOAL TO HAVE.

WE ARE NOT OUT THERE.

NOW WITH ADVANCEMENT IN TECHNOLOGY WE'LL GET THERE.

BUT IT IS A COLONOSCOPY IS THE GOLD STANDARD.

>> SOMEONE TAKES THE BELOWED TEST AND SAYS DOES NOT TURN OUT WELL WHAT THEN?

THE NEXT STEP IS TO GET A COLONOSCOPY TO CONFIRM AND IDENTIFY WHERE THAT LESION IS AND THE REST OF THE FEATURES YOU NEED >> IF YOU HAVE A COLONOSCOPY AND EVERYTHING IS GREAT, DO YOU TAKE THE BLOOD TEST INSTEAD OF A FOLLOW UP?

>> GREAT QUESTION.

IF IT IS POSITIVE AND THEN YOU COLONOSCOPY IS NEGATIVE THE BLOOD TEST IS POSITIVE AND COLONOSCOPY IS NEGATIVE.

DEPENDS IF THE POLYPS DETECTED DURING THE COLONOSCOPY THE RRMATION IN WHAT YOU DO WOULD BE DEPENDOTH POLYPS NOT ANOTHER BLOOD TEST.

I GSZ IF YOU HAVE A COLONOSCOPY WHATEVER THE AGE.

YOU WENT BACK IN 10 YEARS >> COULD BE 3-5 OR 10.

I MEAN IF IT IS CLEAR ALL CLEAR DO YOU GO BACK FIRST WITH THE BLOOD TEST OR IS IT WISE TO DOT COLONOSCOPY THIS IS A SCREENING TEST AS A FIRST STEP.

THAT'S WHAT IT IS >> SO YOU THINK.

WHAM SHOELDZING UPDATE FDA?

WHAT IS THE APPROVAL?

>> THE FDA GOT EFFICIENT IN APPROVING TESTS AND DRUGS AT THIS POINT THEY ARE ANALYZING THE DATA AND COMING UP WITH RECOMMENDATIONS HOW WHAT IS THE SUBSET OF PEOPLE THEY WILL APPROVE THIS IN AND THAT WILL TAKE A FEW MONTHS WE HOPE WE WILL GET THIS HERE SOON.

>> TELL BE A BIG DEAL IT IS THE FIRST BLOOD TEST FOR THE SCREENING OF COLON CANCER, IT IS EXCITING >> YEA.

IT IS, THANKS FOR SHARING THE INFORMATION.

LOOK FOR THE APPROVAL.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME >> AND THAT IS IT.

I'M TED SIMONS THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

YOU HAVE A GREAT EVENING.
