Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Metastasis occurs when the cancer cells spread to the vascular sites, commonly the lungs, liver, and bones. Kidney metastasis is uncommon. Metastasis to the heart and blood vessels is uncommon. The brain is one of the final areas to be reached by metastasis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D, E
Healthy People 2020 goals directed at women's health focus on increased access to screening for cervical and colorectal cancers, decreased deaths occurring from breast cancer and heart disease, and decreased hospitalization for hip fractures. A reduction of the cancer survival rate would reflect increased morbidity and mortality.
