A patient is receiving another course of chemotherapy as his cancer treatment after some previous radiation treatments. He asks about several cancer words, which he has heard referring to him. Correct interpretation of these words for this patient are that:
1.   alopecia refers to the darkening of the skin over his cancer area.
2.   carcinogen refers to some of the materials in his environment such as cigarettes, asbestos, and mercury.
3.   biotherapy refers to special diet foods and specific vitamins that he will need to take on a regular basis now.
4.   antineoplastic refers to drugs that increase the spread of his cancer.
