TL;DR: The actin-binding protein Mena regulates RTK signaling after growth factor stimulation in tumor cells by a novel mechanism and the alternatively spliced MenaINV isoform disrupts this attenuation to drive sensitivity to growth factors, resistance to targeted inhibitors, and ultimately tumor invasion and metastasis.

TL;DR: The most cited barriers to CRC screening were in access (financial burden and limited primary care access) and knowledge (CRC/screening knowledge) as mentioned in this paper , with even lower rates among US immigrants.

TL;DR: Despite creation of national guidelines for CRC screening, there has been low uptake and implementation due to several barriers at the physician-, patient- and system-levels including lack of resources and physician training to follow-up on positive screening results, limited monetary support and substantial gaps in knowledge at the patient level.
