Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4
Some recreational drugs are also implicated as carcinogens. Immunosuppressant promoters include heroin and cocaine. Examples of industrial and environmental carcinogens include polycyclic hydrocarbons, found in soot; benzopyrene, found in cigarette smoke; and arsenic, found in pesticides. Other industrial and environmental chemicals are considered promotional agents. These include wood and leather dust, polymer esters used in plastics and paints, carbon tetrachloride, asbestos, and phenol. Benzopyrene found in cigarette smoke contributes to the development of cancer. Several viruses have been associated with the development of cancer. These viruses include Epstein-Barr. The patient's young age is not a risk factor for the development of cancer.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
African Americans have the highest mortality rate for all cancers and major cancers among all ethnic groups. Cancer incidence and mortality are lower in Native American men and women than in any other ethnic or racial group. Hispanics have higher rates of cancers associated with infectious agents, such as uterine, cervix, liver, and stomach cancer.
