Question 1 of 5

Tick the indication for estrogens in oncological practice:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Step-by-step rationale: 1. Estrogens are contraindicated in most cancers due to their potential to promote cancer growth. 2. However, in prostate cancer, estrogens can be used as a form of androgen deprivation therapy. 3. Estrogen therapy in prostate cancer helps suppress testosterone production, slowing cancer growth. 4. Hence, the correct indication for estrogens in oncological practice is prostate cancer. Summary: A, C, and D are incorrect because estrogen therapy is not indicated in leukemia, endometrial cancer, or brain tumors due to the risk of promoting cancer growth. Prostate cancer is the exception where estrogens can be beneficial for treatment.

Question 2 of 5

A 54-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of an episode of dizziness and near-syncope. From which of the following disorders did the patient most likely suffer?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation can cause dizziness and near-syncope due to irregular and rapid heart rates leading to decreased cardiac output. Premature ventricular contractions, second-degree atrioventricular block, and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia are less likely to cause these symptoms in the absence of additional complications like heart failure or structural heart disease. In this case, atrial fibrillation is the most likely cause based on the patient's symptoms and age.
