Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A history of anabolic steroids, not immunosuppressive or cytotoxic agents, places the patient at risk for hepatocellular carcinoma. A viral infection does not place the patient at risk for hepato-cellular carcinoma.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The most common type of tissue cancer after adolescence is carcinoma, not sarcoma, squamous cell, or neuroma.
