Answer to Question 1

Answer: Graft-versus-leukemia is a positive consequence of stem cell transplantation. GVL occurs when immunocompetent donor T cells attack the residual leukemic cells. A delicate balance of immunocompetent donor T cells is needed because the occurrence of GVHD and GVL is highly variable and subjective to individualized patients.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: D

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).
