Overview of the Immune System
An animal's immune response to a foreign body
Macrophages begin to fuse with, and inject its toxins into, the cancer cell. The cell starts rounding up and loses its spikes. As the macrophage cell becomes smooth. The cancer cell appears lumpy in the last stage before it dies. These lumps are actually the macrophages fused within the cancer cell. The cancer cell then loses its morphology, shrinks up and dies.
