Cancer is :
1. | a disease caused by DNA viruses |
2. | caused by the multiplicity of virulent infections |
3. | a genetic disease caused by multiple mutational events |
4. | a hazard due to the occupation of an individual |
Cancer cells exhibit:
1. | Contact inhibition | 2. | Low division rate |
3. | Metastasis | 4. | High degree of differentiation |

Metastasis shown by malignant tumors:
1. | is due to contact inhibition exhibited by cells. |
2. | causes cells to remain undifferentiated. |
3. | makes cancer cells susceptible to be killed by radiation. |
4. | can start secondary tumors at distant sites in the body. |

A tumor that invades surrounding tissues is usually capable of producing metastases, may recur after attempted removal, and is likely to cause death unless adequately treated. Such a tumor is called a:
1. | Benign tumor | 2. | Malignant tumor |
3. | Teratoma | 4. | Secondary tumor |
