CHAPTER 1: Cancer – An Overview
Multiple Choice Questions (21 Items)
1. What is the primary characteristic of cancer cells?
A. Controlled growth
B. Programmed cell death
C. Uncontrolled proliferation
D. Reduced metabolism
Correct Answer: C. Uncontrolled proliferation
Rationale: Cancer is defined by abnormal, uncontrolled cell growth that escapes normal regulatory
mechanisms.
2. Which term describes the spread of cancer to distant organs?
A. Hyperplasia
B. Dysplasia
C. Metastasis
D. Neoplasia
Correct Answer: C. Metastasis
Rationale: Metastasis refers to cancer spreading from the primary site to distant locations via blood
or lymph.
3. A benign tumor differs from a malignant tumor in that it:
A. Spreads rapidly
B. Invades surrounding tissue
C. Remains localized
D. Causes metastasis
, Correct Answer: C. Remains localized
Rationale: Benign tumors do not invade nearby tissues or metastasize.
4. Which is a known carcinogen?
A. Vitamin C
B. Ultraviolet radiation
C. Calcium
D. Oxygen
Correct Answer: B. Ultraviolet radiation
Rationale: UV radiation damages DNA and is strongly linked to skin cancers.
5. What does “oncogene” refer to?
A. Tumor suppressor gene
B. Cancer-causing gene
C. DNA repair gene
D. Immune gene
Correct Answer: B. Cancer-causing gene
Rationale: Oncogenes are mutated genes that promote uncontrolled cell growth.
6. Which gene normally suppresses tumor formation?
A. Ras
B. Myc
C. p53
D. HER2
Correct Answer: C. p53
Rationale: p53 regulates cell cycle and apoptosis; its loss contributes to cancer.
7. What is angiogenesis?
A. Cell death
B. Blood vessel formation
C. DNA mutation
D. Tumor shrinkage
Correct Answer: B. Blood vessel formation
Rationale: Tumors stimulate angiogenesis to supply nutrients for growth.
8. Which system commonly spreads cancer cells?
