Dead cancer cells are as tasty to a phagocyte as any other type of dead cell. The dead cells cannot “re-enter the bloodstream” once they’ve been digested by macrophages, because the digestion process breaks down the chunks into individual chemical components (amino acids, lipids, sugars, minerals).

In this case, the scavengers are white blood cells whose job is to eat (literally) and digest dead things such as dead cells and cell debris. There are two main types of cells that do that: neutrophils and macrophages, both of which are called “phagocytes”. The neutrophils almost always come from the blood, and they get to the dead cells first.
