Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Chemotherapy, used in various combinations, is the treatment of choice for leukemia.
Neither bone marrow transplant, immunotherapy, nor localized radiation therapy is considered the treatment of choice for leukemia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
There is also an increased incidence of leukemia in association with other hereditary abnormalities such as Down syndrome, not hemophilia, not hyperthyroidism, and not pheochromocytoma.
