Which cancer originates from the connective tissue?
a. Basal cell carcinoma
b. Adenocarcinoma
c. Osteogenic sarcoma
d. Multiple myeloma - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > c. Osteogenic
sarcoma

the suffix -sarcoma. Carcinomas arise in epithelial tissue.
Myeloma arises in the bone marrow.
What are characteristics of benign tumors?
a. Benign tumors include the suffix -oma
,b. Benign tumors invade local tissues
c. Benign tumors cause systemic symptoms
d. Benign tumors spread through the lymph nodes. - ✔✔✔
Correct Answer > a. Benign tumors include the suffix -oma
Rationale: Benign tumors are usually encapsulated and well-
differentiated. They retain some normal tissue structure and do
not invade the capsules surrounding them or spread to regional
lymph nodes or distant locations. Benign tumors are generally
named according to ths tissues from which they arise and
include the suffix (-oma). Benign tumors do not cause systemic
symptoms.

does the healthcare professional describe this finding to the
patient?
a. Cancer has spread to distant sites
b. Cancer has spread to regional structures
c. Cancer is confined to the organ of origin
d. Cancer is locally invasive - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > d. Cancer
is locally invasive
Rationale: Cancer confined to the organ of origin is stage 1;
cancer that is locally invasive is stage 2; cancer that has spread
to regional structures, such as the lymph nodes, is stage 3; and
cancer that has spread to distant sites, such as a liver cancer
spreading to the lung or a prostate cancer to bone, is stage 4.
, A cancer patient has pain at the tumor site and is worried the
tumor has metastasized. What does the healthcare provider
understand about his patient's complaint?
a. Pain indicates the metastasis of a cancer.
b. Pain is usually the initial symptom of cancer.
c. Pain is primarily a result of pressure caused by the tumor.
d. Pain is generally associated with late-stage cancer. - ✔✔✔
Correct Answer > d. Pain is generally associated with late-stage
cancer.
Rationale: Pain is generally associated with the late stages of
cancer. Pressure, obstruction, invasion of a structure sensitive
to pain, stretching, tissue destruction, and inflammation can
cause pain. Pain is not the initial symptom of cancer nor does it
indicate that the cancer has metastasized
