Answer:

Cancer cells attach to organs

Step-by-step explanation:

Cancer cells cannot enter the circulatory system - this is not true. Cancer cells can enter the circulatory system, and can even use it to move to other areas of the body in a process called metastasis.

Cancer cells grow controllably - this is not true, one of the hallmarks of cancer is that they go uncontrollably. The growth and proliferation of cancer cells can become deregulated, meaning they grow at a rapid pace and bypass checkpoints in the cell which normally prevent this form happening

Cancer cells attach to organs - this is true, cancer cells can attach to essentially any organ

Cancer cells lose nutrients to healthy cells - this is false, in fact the opposite is true. Cancer cells often steal nutrients away from healthy cells. This is partly because of their uncontrolled growth, meaning the cancerous cells keep dividing and taking nutrients for their continued growth and proliferation.
