To match the terms with the correct descriptions, let's analyze each term and its corresponding description:

  1. Metastatic neoplasm
  • The answer is E: cells whose growth pattern has no purpose and is uncontrollable.
    Explanation: Metastatic neoplasms are cancerous cells that have spread from their original site to other parts of the body, growing uncontrollably.
  1. Cancer of the lung, breast, and colon
  • The answer is D: responsible for the majority of cancer deaths.
    Explanation: These types of cancer are among the most common and are responsible for a significant number of cancer-related deaths.
  1. CAUTION
  • The answer is B: an acronym for the seven warning signs of cancer.
    Explanation: CAUTION is a mnemonic used to remember the seven warning signs of cancer.
  1. Basal and squamous cell skin cancer
  • The answer is G: the most common type of cancer.
    Explanation: Basal and squamous cell carcinomas are the most common types of skin cancer.
  1. Biopsy
  • The answer is C: microscopic examination of live tissue.
    Explanation: A biopsy involves taking a sample of tissue for examination under a microscope to diagnose diseases like cancer.
  1. Liver, lungs, and brain
  • The answer is F: common sites of bloodstream metastasis.
    Explanation: These organs are common sites where cancer cells metastasize through the bloodstream.
  1. Ultraviolet radiation, x-radiation, & radioactive materials
  • The answer is A: known carcinogens.
    Explanation: These are known to cause cancer due to their ability to damage DNA.
  1. Routine screening
  • The answer is J: very effective in the discovery and early diagnosis of cancer.
    Explanation: Routine screenings help detect cancer early, improving treatment outcomes.
  1. Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation
  • The answer is H: major types of cancer treatment.
    Explanation: These are the primary methods used to treat cancer.
  1. Palliative
  • The answer is I: treatment aimed at relieving symptoms.
    Explanation: Palliative care focuses on relieving symptoms and improving quality of life for patients with serious illnesses.

True or False:

  1. Grading is the microscopic examination of the tumor to determine the degree of differentiation.
  • True.
    Explanation: Grading involves examining the tumor cells under a microscope to assess how much they differ from normal cells.
  1. Tumors that are undifferentiated or anaplastic do not resemble the tissue of origin, are highly malignant.
  • True.
    Explanation: Undifferentiated or anaplastic tumors lack the structure and function of normal cells and are often more aggressive.
  1. Radioactive materials that emit alpha, beta, and gamma rays are not considered to be potential carcinogens.
  • False.
    Explanation: Radioactive materials that emit these rays are considered potential carcinogens due to their ability to cause DNA damage.
  1. There is no known genetic predisposition for cancer.
  • False.
    Explanation: There are known genetic predispositions for certain types of cancer, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations for breast cancer.
