AAPC Certified Professional Biller (CPB) — Question 9
Carcinoma (Ca) in situ is a malignant tumor that is localized, circumscribed, encapsulated, and noninvasive (has not spread to deeper or adjacent tissues or organs).
Answer options
- A. TRUE
- B. FALSE
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is TRUE because carcinoma in situ represents a localized form of cancer that has not infiltrated surrounding tissues. The alternative option, FALSE, is incorrect as it contradicts the definition of carcinoma in situ, which is characterized by its noninvasive nature.
