Cancer cells are essentially normal cells that have malfunctioned, no longer responding to the signals that regulate cell growth and death. Most cancer cells originate within tissues and progressively deviate from normal cell behavior as they grow and divide. Over time, these cells become increasingly resistant to the mechanisms that maintain healthy tissue. They divide more rapidly than their predecessors and rely less on external signals. Cancer cells can also evade programmed cell death (apoptosis), even though their numerous abnormalities would typically trigger this process. In advanced stages, cancer cells break through normal tissue boundaries and metastasize to other parts of the body.
