F
(T/F) Grading is the microscopic examination of the tumor to determine the degree of differentiation
T
(T/F) Tumors that are undifferentiated or anaplastic do not resemble the tissue of origin, are highly malignant, and have a poor prognosis
T
(T/F) Radioactive materials that emit alpha, beta, and gamma rays are not considered to be potential carcinogens
F
(T/F) There is no known genetic predisposition for cancer
F
(T/F) There are several personal risk behaviors common in our society that put an individual at increased risk for developing cancer
