Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Individuals with a 10+ year history of ulcerative colitis have a 30-fold increase in developing co-lon cancer. There is no relationship between pneumonia and lung cancer; between prostatic hy-pertrophy and cancer of the prostate; and between hypercholesterolemi a and leukemia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Adjuvant chemotherapy is given after surgical excision of a cancer with the goal of eliminating micrometastases. Adjuvant chemotherapy is not given as the primary treatment or before radia-tion therapy. Adjuvant chemotherapy is indicated in the treatment of individuals with metastasis.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
