Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Wilms tumor usually is a solitary mass that occurs in any part of the kidney. It usually is sharply demarcated and variably encapsulated. Stage IV means the tumors have undergone hematogenous metastasis, most commonly involving the lung. Treatment involves surgery, chemotherapy, and sometimes radiation therapy. Long-term survival rates are good (90) for stages I to III.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Surgical interventions are common in the treatment of bladder cancer. Effective chemotherapeutic regimens are not yet available, though there are certainly treatment options. The mortality rate of bladder cancer is high, at around 25.
