Assessing perceptions of cancer risk: does mode of assessment or numeracy matter?
Mode of assessment largely does not matter when it comes to assessing perceived colon cancer risk. However, numeracy does matter and specifically impacts percentage estimates of perceived risk. While web-based, mail, and telephone modes may be used interchangeably when assessing perceived cancer risk; less missing data may result with telephone data collection.
The observations indicate that uPAR is an essential component of the network through which VEGF controls endothelial cell migration. uPAR is a bottleneck through which the VEGF-induced signal must be funnelled for both focused proteolytic activity at the leading edge and for redistribution of integrins.
