Question

Match List I with List II :

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)
• B. (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
• C. (A)-(IV), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(I)
• D. (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)

Hint:

\textbf{Oncology: Age and Cancer Risk.} Age is a significant risk factor for many types of cancer. Understanding the age-specific incidence of different malignancies is important for clinical suspicion and diagnostic workup.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The incidence of different malignancies varies with age. The correct matching of the age groups in List I with some of the commonly associated malignancies in List II is as follows: \begin{itemize} \item < 10 years (A): Eosinophilic granuloma (II) is a Langerhans cell histiocytosis that can affect various age groups, including young children. \item Teenage (B): Ewing’s Sarcoma (III) is a primary bone cancer that is more common in teenagers and young adults. \item Reproductive age (C): Breast cancer (IV) is a significant malignancy in women of reproductive age, although its incidence increases with age. \item > 60 years (D): Multiple Myeloma (I) is a cancer of plasma cells that typically affects older adults, with the median age at diagnosis being in the 60s. \end{itemize} Therefore, the correct combination is (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I).
