Review
To illustrate how important the "War On Cancer" is in this
country, some sobering facts about cancer are provided in
this unit:
- More than 1.2 million Americans develop cancer each year.
- Since 1990, nearly 15 million new cancer cases have been
diagnosed in the U.S.
- Cancer is the second leading cause of death after heart
disease in the United States, but it is the major cause
of death in women between the ages of 35 and 74. One in
two men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer at some
time during his lifetime.
- Cancer is the chief cause of death in children between
the ages of 1 and 14.
- Cancer-related costs account for about 10 percent of the
total amount of money spent on disease treatment in the
United States.
Quiz
It's time to see how much you have learned from this unit.
A multiple-choice quiz, including five questions, has been
created to give you an opportunity to reinforce what you have
learned.
Since the quiz is created as an incentive for learning, rather
than an objective evaluation of learning results, the score
of the quiz will not be captured and will not be recorded.
Feedback to your answer is provided instantaneously, so you
may select another choice if your first choice is not the
correct one.
These quiz questions are grouped into three sets (two sets
of two questions each and the last set of one question) to
reduce the size of the content on each page. When you finish
the questions in one set, click the navigation arrows in the
Title Bar to go to the next page. Please click here
