Before revision: + Summary Capability Simple analogy Self-sufficiency in growth signals "accelerator pedal stuck on" Insensitivity to anti-growth signals "brakes don't work" Evading apoptosis won't die when the body normally would kill the defective cell Limitless replicative potential infinite generations of descendants Sustained angiogenesis telling the body to give it a blood supply Tissue invasion and metastasis migrating and spreading to other organs and tissues Self-sufficiency in growth signals Cancer cells do not need stimulation from external signals (in the form of growth factors) to multiply.
