Below are all the test questions with an explanation of the correct answer.

1. You are seeing a 60-year-old woman for a health maintenance visit. The
patient reports that she does brisk walking for 1 hour twice weekly for
RPA. According to the previous study by Moore and colleagues, what
can you tell her regarding the association between RPA and the risk for
cancer?

Answer: RPA was effective at reducing the risks for 13 different types of
cancer
This previous study found that RPA was associated with lower risks for
13 different types of cancer, including myeloid leukemia, head and neck,
kidney, and bladder cancers. Moreover, RPA had a preventive effect
independent of body mass index and smoking status for most of these
forms of cancer.

2. The patient is diagnosed with breast cancer after routine mammography.

What should she consider regarding the association between RPA and
mortality among adults with cancer in the current study by Cannioto and
colleagues?

Answer: Mild to moderate RPA initiated after the diagnosis of cancer

was associated with lower mortality
The current study finds that even infrequent RPA initiated only after the
diagnosis of cancer can reduce the risk for mortality among adults with
cancer. Prediagnosis RPA also helped reduce the risk for cancer, and
these findings were generally true regardless of cancer site or treatment.
