Cancer Cells Quiz

What are the primary causes of cancer?

• Multiple factors including genetic, lifestyle, environmental, and infectious factors

• Eating too much sugar

• Wearing tight clothing

• Using a microwave

How does genetic predisposition contribute to the development of cancer?

• It only affects non-life-threatening cancers

• It has no impact on cancer development

• It decreases the risk of developing cancer

• It can increase the likelihood of developing certain types of cancer.

Name two types of cancer cells and describe their characteristics.

• Carcinoma and Sarcoma

• Melanoma and Myeloma

• Adenocarcinoma and Osteosarcoma

• Leukemia and Lymphoma

Explain the difference between benign and malignant tumors.

• Benign tumors are more dangerous than malignant tumors

• Benign tumors do not spread, while malignant tumors can spread to other parts of the body.

• Malignant tumors are usually non-cancerous

• Benign tumors can spread to other parts of the body

What are the stages of cancer development?

• Inhibition, regression, metastasis, recovery

• Initiation, promotion, progression, and metastasis

• Prevention, remission, spread, recovery

• Initiation, regression, progression, recovery

Describe the process of metastasis in cancer cells.

• Metastasis is the process of cancer cells shrinking and disappearing on their own

• The spread of cancer cells from the original tumor to other parts of the body.

• Metastasis is the process of cancer cells turning into healthy cells

• The process of cancer cells staying in the original tumor and not spreading

What are the common mutations found in cancer cells?

• BRCA1

• ATP6

• TP53, KRAS, and EGFR

• PTEN

How do mutations in tumor suppressor genes contribute to cancer development?

• No effect on cell growth

• Loss of function and decreased cell growth

• Loss of function and uncontrolled cell growth

• Increased function and controlled cell growth

What are the different treatment options for cancer cells?

• Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, and stem cell transplant

• Homeopathy

• Acupuncture

• Aromatherapy

Explain the concept of targeted therapy in cancer treatment.

• Using surgery to remove all cancer cells from the body

• Using drugs or other substances to identify and attack specific cancer cells without harming normal cells.

• Administering chemotherapy to kill all cells in the body

• Using radiation therapy to target specific cancer cells
