Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D, E
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends four essential components of survivorship care: (1) Prevention and detection of new cancers and recurrent cancer; (2) surveillance for cancer spread, recurrence, or second cancers; (3) intervention for consequences of cancer and its treatment (e.g., medical problems, symptoms, psychological distress); and (4) coordination between specialists and primary care providers. The patient should continue with noncancer follow-up and care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
While Asian Americans generally have lower cancer rates than the non-Hispanic Caucasian population, they also have the highest incidence rates of liver cancer for both sexes compared with Hispanic, non-Hispanic Caucasians, or non-Hispanic African-Americans.
