The spread of a malignant tumor from its original site to other parts of the body is known as:
Remission
Biopsy
Tumor
Metastasis
Which of the following is classified as a carcinogen?
A non-spreading, benign tumor.
An irregular heartbeat.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.
A medication used to treat high blood pressure.
What is the medical purpose of performing a biopsy?
To remove the entire tumor without leaving any cancer cells behind.
To remove a section of tissue for laboratory analysis to determine if cells are cancerous.
To use strong X-rays to shrink a malignant tumor.
To measure the electrical activity of the heart.
Which statement correctly distinguishes a benign tumor from a malignant tumor?
Benign tumors are cancerous; malignant tumors are noncancerous.
Benign tumors are surrounded by membranes that prevent them from spreading, while malignant tumors spread (metastasize).
Malignant tumors always grow slowly; benign tumors always grow rapidly.
Malignant tumors can be treated with a simple surgical biopsy, while benign tumors require chemotherapy.

A specific reaction of the immune system to a foreign and frequently harmless substance (allergy).
A tumor that has entered a state of remission.
Rheumatoid arthritis, where the immune system attacks the joints.

Which characteristic is shared by both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis?
Both are caused by an allergic reaction to histamines.
Both are classified as a disease characterized by the debilitating destruction of the joints due to inflammation.
Both are autoimmune diseases where the immune system attacks the body.
Both are related to the body's inability to convert food into energy.
If a doctor informs a patient their cancerous tumor has entered remission, what does that mean?
The tumor is confirmed to be malignant and will soon spread (metastasize).
The patient must immediately undergo a surgical biopsy.
The symptoms and signs of the cancer have disappeared or been significantly reduced.
The cancer has damaged the heart, leading to irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias).
