Q. What histological feature is commonly associated with high-grade tumors?
A.
Well-differentiated cells
B.
Increased mitotic activity
C.
Presence of necrosis
D.
All of the above
Solution
High-grade tumors typically exhibit increased mitotic activity, presence of necrosis, and poorly differentiated cells, making 'All of the above' the correct answer.
Q. What is the primary characteristic used to classify tumors as benign or malignant?
A.
Size of the tumor
B.
Histological appearance
C.
Location of the tumor
D.
Patient's age
Solution
Tumors are primarily classified as benign or malignant based on their histological appearance, which reflects their cellular characteristics and behavior.
Q. What is the primary method used for the histopathological diagnosis of tumors?
A.
Immunohistochemistry
B.
Flow cytometry
C.
PCR (Polymerase chain reaction)
D.
Ultrasound imaging
Solution
Immunohistochemistry is the primary method used for the histopathological diagnosis of tumors, allowing for the identification of specific antigens in tissue sections.
Q. Which of the following is NOT a common route of metastasis for solid tumors?
A.
Hematogenous spread
B.
Lymphatic spread
C.
Transcoelomic spread
D.
Direct contact spread
Solution
Direct contact spread is not a common route of metastasis for solid tumors; instead, they typically spread via hematogenous, lymphatic, or transcoelomic routes.
