Two distinct fluids move through the circulatory system: blood and lymph. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the body's cells, and carries waste materials away. Blood also carries hormones, which control body processes, and antibodies, to fight invading germs. The heart is the pump that keeps this transport system moving. Together,...

The trials are being carried out by the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) and the American College of Surgeons-Oncology Group (ACOS-OG). NSABP and ACOS-OG are both NCI-sponsored Clinical Trials Cooperative Groups, which are networks of institutions and...
