Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
HGFs are used in aplastic anemia and after chemotherapy because, with less myelosuppression, the client can receive higher doses of other chemotherapy agents. Currently, MOABs are used to combat leukemia, lymphoma, and renal transplant rejection. IFNs are used to treat leukemia, AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma, melanoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple sclerosis, and chronic granulomatous disease. ILs have shown some success in the treatment of metastatic renal cancers, lymphoma, and melanoma.
