How does the lymphatic system contribute to cancer cell metastasis?

This paper explores how the lymphatic system contributes to cancer cell metastasis. The lymphatic system is a network of vessels and nodes that helps to circulate lymph fluid throughout the body. This fluid contains white blood cells, which help to fight infection and disease. Cancer cells can sometimes hitch a ride on this fluid and be transported to other parts of the body, where they can form new tumors. The lymphatic system is therefore an important part of the cancer cell metastasis process.

There are a few ways that cancer cells can enter the lymphatic system. One way is through direct invasion of the lymph vessels. Cancer cells can also enter the lymphatic system through the bloodstream. Once in the lymphatic system, cancer cells can travel to different parts of the body and form new tumors.
