  • 2. 

    Breast Cancer is most likely to spread to your ____________area.

    • Face

    • Stomach

    • Underarm

    • Leg

    Correct Answer
    A. Underarm
    Explanation
    Breast cancer is most likely to spread to the underarm area because the lymph nodes in the underarm region are the first place where breast cancer cells are likely to travel. The lymph nodes act as filters for the lymphatic system, which helps to remove waste and fight infection. When breast cancer cells break away from the primary tumor, they can enter the lymphatic vessels and travel to nearby lymph nodes, including those in the underarm area. Therefore, it is important for doctors to check the underarm lymph nodes for any signs of cancer spread during breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "Only women can get Breast Cancer" is false. Although breast cancer is more commonly found in women, men can also develop breast cancer. While it is less common, men have breast tissue and can develop cancerous cells in their breast tissue, leading to breast cancer. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that only women can get breast cancer.

    Breast reconstruction is done after_____________surgery.

    • Lumpectomy

    • Mastectomy

    Correct Answer
    A. Mastectomy
    Explanation
    Breast reconstruction is done after mastectomy surgery. Mastectomy is the surgical removal of one or both breasts, usually to treat or prevent breast cancer. After a mastectomy, some individuals may choose to undergo breast reconstruction to restore the appearance of the breast. This procedure can involve various techniques, such as using breast implants or tissue from other parts of the body to recreate the breast mound. Breast reconstruction aims to help individuals regain their self-confidence and improve their overall well-being after mastectomy surgery.

    Correct Answer
    A. The cancer cells have stayed from their origin and have not spread
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "the cancer cells have stayed from their origin and have not spread." Noninvasive breast cancer refers to a type of cancer where the abnormal cells are confined to the milk ducts or lobules of the breast and have not invaded surrounding tissues or spread to other parts of the body. This means that the cancer is localized and has not metastasized, making it easier to treat and potentially cure.
