Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
The American Cancer Society uses the acronym CAUTION to describe common warning signs of cancer: change in bowel or bladder habits; a sore that does not heal; unusual bleeding or discharge; thickening or lump in the breast, testicles, or elsewhere; indigestion or trouble swallowing; obvious change in the size, color shape, or thickness of a wart, mole, or mouth sore; and nagging cough or hoarseness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D
The best prognosis for ALL occurs in children 2 to 9 years of age and in children whose initial white blood cell count is < 5,000/mm3. Children 10 and older and whose initial white blood cell counts are ?= 50,000/mm3 have worse prognoses. Infants have a very poor prognosis.
