metastasis diagnosed after the primary site had been diagnosed and treated -
✔✔✔ Correct Answer > metachronous
metastasis diagnosed with an unknown primary site (first indication of cancer in
patient) - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > precocious

composed of a single cell type - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > simple malignant tumor
malignant tumor category composed of a variety of cell types, with the cells
originating from one germ layer - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > mixed malignant tumor
malignant tumor category where tumors contain a variety of cell types with the
cells originating in more than one germ layer - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > compound
malignant tumor
tumors that arise from cells that originate in the neural crest - ✔✔✔ Correct
Answer > neuroendocrine
any cancer-producing substance or organism - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > carcinogen
process of producing or causing cancer - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Carcinogenesis
four possible explanations for malignant transformation - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
viruses, cell mutation, cell mis-differentiation, physical/environmental effects
