Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Corticosteroids are contraindicated for use during therapy with interleukin-2 because they reduce the antitumor effectiveness of the biologic response modifier.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Bone pain is the most common adverse effect of filgastrim and is due to the extensive bone mar-row regeneration. It can be easily treated with acetaminophen.
