Question

Differences between normal cell and cancer cell

Answer 1

Evading growth suppressors—Normal cells are controlled by growth (tumor) suppressors. ...Cancer cells ignore these cellsand invade nearby tissues. Benign (non-cancerous) tumorshave a fibrous capsule. They may push up against nearby tissues but they do not invade/intermingle with other tissues.

Answer 2

Normal cells listen to signals from neighboring cells and stop growing when they encroach on nearby tissues (something called contact inhibition.)Cancer cells ignore these cells and invade nearby tissues. Benign (non-cancerous) tumors have a fibrous capsule.
