Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A, C, D

Feedback:

No chemotherapeutic regimens for bladder cancer have been established. Instillation of chemotherapeutic drugs into the bladder is currently done using thiotepa, mitomycin C, and doxorubicin. BCG vaccine causes a significant reduction in the rate of relapse and prolongs relapse-free intervals in people with cancer in situ. Inhibitors of tumor angiogenesis and inhibitors of EGF drugs are proving effective with bladder cancer.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

After breakdown, by pancreatic lipase, triglycerides are absorbed primarily in the upper jejunum. Long-chain fatty acids are absorbed less easily than medium-chain triglycerides, while stool often contains a certain amount of fat.
