Researchers Are Studying Various Cellular Processes in Normal and Diseased

Researchers are studying various cellular processes in normal and diseased states to find new anticancer drug targets.  They develop a medication that inhibits an intracellular enzyme that converts adenosine to inosine.  With drug use, accumulation of enzyme substrates in the neoplastic cells leads to DNA strand breaks and subsequent apoptosis.  Which of the following malignancies is likely to be most responsive to this medication?
