Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
MRI is the diagnostic tool of choice for both screening and follow-up of cranial and head and neck tumors. Computed tomography is used in the screening for renal cell and most gastrointestinal tumors. X-ray imaging is still the method of choice for lung cancer. Ultrasonography is used to detect early prostate cancers and is used to guide needle biopsy. Ultrasound imaging is also used for detecting masses in the denser breast tissue of young women.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
The acid phosphatase level will be elevated in prostate cancer. The albumin level will be decreased in malnutrition and metastatic liver cancer. Bilirubin will be elevated in liver and gallbladder cancer. Calcium will be elevated in bone cancer and ectopic parathyroid hormone production.
