a) Each year, 2.2 million new cases of cancer are diagnosed, including about 1 million cases of skin cancer. b) Investigators reported in a recent cross sectional study of 215 HIV-positive subjects receiving antiretroviral therapy that 11 subjects showed signs or symptoms of hepatotoxicity. c) In 1997, an estimated 64,207 people sustained nonfatal firearm-related injuries and were treated in U.S. hospital emergency rooms. d) In 1997, 33% of firearm-related injuries resulted in death. e) A recent cohort study comparing ACE-inhibitor users to Ace-inhibitor nonusers showed that 50 ACE-inhibitor developed a cough during 2470 person-years of follow-up.

Skin cancer carries a lifetime risk nearly equal to that of allother cancers combined. Following is a graph [modified fromK. H. Kraemer (1997). Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA) 94:11–14]depicting the age of onset of skin cancers in patients with orwithout XP, where the cumulative percentage of skin cancer is plotted against age. The non-XP curve is based on 29,757 cancerssurveyed by the National Cancer Institute, and the curverepresenting those with XP is based on 63 skin cancers from theXeroderma Pigmentosum Registry.
51. Which of the following statements is/are TRUE on the levels of prevention?I. Primary prevention occurs before the pathological onset of disease. Its aim is to block the start ofdisease.II. Secondary prevention takes place from the pathological onset of disease to the occurrence of clinicalsymptoms. It aims is to delay the onset and duration of symptomatic disease and improve survival.III. Tertiary prevention takes place after clinical symptoms develop. Its aim is to slow or block theprogression of disease and therefore reduce disease sequelae and improve survival.IV. All prevention activities may have the added benefit of reducing or halting the spread of disease.V. All prevention activities assume that the action taken will reduce the occurrence of disease and itsaftereffects.A. I, II B. I, II, III C. I, II, III, IV D. I, II, IV
