Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Cancer survivors are at increased risk for cancer (either a recurrence of the cancer for which they were treated or a second cancer). The increased risk for developing a second cancer is the result of cancer treatment, genetic factors or other susceptibility, or an interaction between treatment and susceptibility. Infection, weight gain, and low blood pressure are not common conditions for cancer survivors.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Cancer survivorship begins at the time of cancer diagnosis, includes treatment, and extends to the rest of the person's life. Being cancer free for any length of time does not relate to the definition of a cancer survivor put forth by the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship.
