A disease characterized by the unrestrained growth of abnormal cells on or in tissues of the body?
Unrestrained of cells in or on the body can be a tumor. This can be non-cancerous or cancerous. Since you are looking at a "disease caused by unrestrained growth of abnormal cells", I would suggest cancer.Non-cancerous growth can cause problems that can be called diseases. A large growth of non-cancerous cells can cause problems of the pancreas called pancreatitis.Cancerous growths of the pancreas can cause blockage of the bile ducts causing jaundice.There are many other example of these.

How the presence of a cancerous tumor affect the biological processes?
Cancerous tumours are formed from cells which have had mutations in very specific genes which have allowed them to survive independantly of cells around them in the body. Some of these key genes code for growth factors and other proteins which affect normal body cells. Often the tumour cell mutations cause upregulation of these growth factors causing neighbouring healthy cells to be affected in unusual ways.
