Cancer

Question 4 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology A

Which statements about surgery for cancer are true? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Surgical intervention is common for breast tumors.
B
Surgery cures cancer.
C
Surgery is always recommended for cancer.
D
Surgery may allow for better breathing.

Explanation

Surgery is commonly used to remove breast tumors, so statement A is true. It can also relieve symptoms—for example, removing or reducing a tumor that blocks an airway may improve breathing, making D true. Surgery does not cure every cancer, and it is not appropriate or recommended in every case; treatment depends on the cancer and the patient.
