Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. In the body, there are trillions of cells with various functions. These cells grow and divide to help the body function properly. Cells die when they become old or damaged, and new cells replace them.

Cancer develops when the body’s normal control mechanism stops working. Old cells do not die and cells grow out of control, forming new, abnormal cells. These extra cells may form a mass of tissue, called a tumor. Some cancers, such as leukemia, do not form tumors.

Tomtit [17]
Answer: 
<span>It transports nutrients in the body. 
</span><span>It circulates macrophages in the body. 

</span>The lymphatic system is transporting cholesterol. That is why their liquid color looks like milk, not transparent. The lymph node is also a gathering place of white blood cells and helping fight infection. One of those white blood cells is macrophages.
Lymph node doesn't produce a hormone. An antigen is not synthesized by the body, it was a part of the microbe. Keratin is produced by skin epithelial cells.
