How does cancerous cell growth differ from normal cell growth, and can you explain the key distinctions between the two processes?

Cancerous cell growth is different from normal cell growth because cancer cells divide uncontrollably and can invade surrounding tissues. Normal cell growth is tightly regulated and stops when the body doesn't need more cells. The key distinctions between the two processes are the uncontrolled division of cancer cells, their ability to spread to other parts of the body, and their resistance to signals that would normally stop cell growth.
