A client receiving antineoplastic agents in the treatment of lung cancer has been told that treatment options are limited. The nurse explains that lung cancer has a decreased sensitivity to antineoplastic agents because lung cancer cells:
1. have a very erratic cell cycle, and there is little difference between the number of replicating and resting cells. 2. grow for a long time before detection and are therefore less sensitive to antineoplastic agents. 3. grow in a high-oxygen environment and are therefore not very sensitive to antineoplastic agents. 4. have a low growth fraction, so there is little difference between the number of replicating and resting cells.
