transformation to cancer cells. These agents are termed as “carcinogenic”. Another theory of how cancer develops states that the body itself produces abnormal cells. Normally‚ these abnormal cells are destroyed by immune system. In cases of immunologic deficiency‚ the immune system fails to destroy the abnormal cells which eventually become the cancer cells (Udan‚ 2002). According to Reyes & Layug (2009)‚ breast cancer is an unregulated growth of abnormal cells in breast tissue. Its cause is unknown

Fluid balance. The lymphatic system is a linear network of lymphatic vessels and secondary lymphoid organs. About 30 Litter of fluid pass from the blood capillaries into the interstitial fluid each day‚ 27 Litter pass from the interstitial fluid back into the capillaries. If the remaining 3 Litter of fluid were to remain in the interstitial fluid‚ edema would result‚ causing tissue damage and eventual death. Instead‚ the 3 L of fluid enter the lymphatic capillaries‚ where it is called lymph and passes
