Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Malignant tumors destroy surrounding tissues and may spread to distant parts of the body causing a secondary tumor to grow in that area. Malignant cells divide and multiply but not in the same manner as normal parent cells and are rarely contained within a capsule.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Support groups like The Lost Chord Club, Reach for Recovery, and I Can Cope are available to send volunteers to talk with persons facing lifestyle changes because of cancer.
