Which disease is explicitly listed as included in the cancer presumption in the material?

• A. Leukemia
• B. Pneumonia
• C. Lyme disease
• D. Tuberculosis

Answer: (A)

Leukemia is a cancer, and in the material’s cancer presumption, cancers are specifically listed to simplify determining work-related eligibility for benefits. Among the given options, leukemia is the only cancer, so it is included in the cancer presumption. The other conditions—pneumonia, Lyme disease, and tuberculosis—are infectious or inflammatory diseases, not cancers, so they do not fall under the cancer presumption.
