The first page of your in-class, closed-book cancer pathobiology final asks you to describe the functions for each gene in a list of cancer-related genes. Have you seen how genes are named? It's like alphabet soup! Okay, a couple make sense, like how BRCA 1&2 are associated with breast cancer, but when a gene looks something like p18MSH2q&*#$!, it is not inherently obvious what cancer that gene is associated with or what it does.
The second essay question on your in-class, closed-book cancer pathobiology final asks, "Who gets cancer and why? (worth 20 points). Oh, where to begin. . .
There are no "choices" for essay questions on your in-class, closed book cancer pathobiology final. If remembering the difference between oncogene addition and non-oncogene addiction and which types of cancer treatments go with each one is not something that you spent a whole lot of time studying, oh well.
The point values of all the questions add up to ~150 points (i.e., it's a long test).
