Abstract:
Health care disparities are defined as health differences between groups that are avoidable, unnecessary, and unjust. Racial disparities in colorectal cancer mortality, particularly for Black patients, are well-described. Disparities in preventative measures, early detection, effective treatment, and posttreatment services contribute to these differences. Underlying these issues are patient, provider, health care system, and policy-level factors that lead to these disparities. Multilevel interventions designed to address each level of care can provide an effective means to mitigate these disparities.

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...
