Cancer is a disease characterized by:
 
  1. normal, controlled cell division.
  2. abnormal, uncontrolled cell division.
  3. normal, uncontrolled cell division.
  4. abnormal, controlled cell division.

Question 2

Unlike most normal cells, cancerous cells are able to move to other places in the body, traveling to distant sites where they populate new tumors. This process is called:
 
  1. grading.
  2. carcinogenesis.
  3. metastasis.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Cancer is abnormal, uncontrolled cell division.
Rationale 2: Cancer is characterized by abnormal, uncontrolled cell division.
Rationale 3: Cancer is abnormal cell division.
Rationale 4: Cancer is uncontrolled cell division.
Global Rationale: Cancer is characterized by rapid, uncontrolled growth of cells that eventually invade normal tissues and metastasize. This growth is abnormal.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Grading is a process that examines potential cancer cells under a microscope and compares their appearance with normal parent cells.
Rationale 2: Carcinogenesis, or oncogenesis, is the process by which normal cells are transformed into cancer cells.
Rationale 3: Metastasis occurs when cancerous cells travel to distant sites and populate new tumors.
Rationale 4: Angiogenesis is the process of forming new blood vessels.
Global Rationale: Unlike most normal cells, cancerous cells are able to move to other places in the body. The abnormal cells often travel to distant sites where they populate new tumors, a process called metastasis.

Most strokes are caused when blood clots move to a blood vessel in the brain and block blood flow to that area. Thrombolytic therapy can be used to dissolve the clot quickly. If given within 3 hours of the first stroke symptoms, this therapy can help limit stroke damage and disability.
