question 7 (mandatory) (6 points)
side effects of cancer chemotherapy include all of the following except
a) alopecia (hair loss)
b) mouth sores
c) increased white blood cells

Explanation:

Match oncology terms to descriptions

• "tumor that grows rapidly and invades surrounding tissue" matches Malignant (2).
• "a substance that can cause cancer" matches Carcinogen (1).
• "tumor that may cause health issues, but not fatal" matches Benign (4).
• "tumor in the liver from malignant pancreatic tumor" matches Metastasis (3).

Analyze chemotherapy side effects

• Chemotherapy targets rapidly dividing cells, commonly causing alopecia (hair loss) and mouth sores (stomatitis).
• Chemotherapy typically suppresses bone marrow activity, leading to decreased white blood cells (leukopenia/neutropenia), not increased white blood cells.
• Therefore, "increased white blood cells" is the exception.
