Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
There can be many warning signs of cancer: abnormal bleeding, a palpable mass, decrease in weight or appetite, fatigue, and a change in bowel habits are just a few. Any unsuspected change in a patient's body is an indication to have a checkup.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Numeric subscripts describe the findings. Secondary tumor = 2; positive nodes = 1; metastases = 1.
