1. True/False: False, only tissue can diagnose. Tumor markers are helpful to assess response to
Blood tests for tu- therapy or reoccurrence.
mor markers can

of cancer. Why or

2. What is the most tissue biopsy
important proce-

ing the correct
cancer and histol-

3. Explain the TNM T is the size and local spread of the primary tumor.
system: N is the involvement of the regional lymph nodes.
M is the extent of the metastatic involvement.
