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.
