Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Tumors, including cancers, are caused by abnormal cells that multiply continuously. If the abnormal cells continue to divide unstopped, they can damage the tissues around them, spread to other parts of the body (malignancy), and even result in death.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cells that progress through the cell cycle unchecked may eventually form malignant tumors, where masses of cells grow and divide uncontrollably, then develop the ability to spread and migrate throughout the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Uncontrolled Cell Growth: Cancer Cancer cells do not respond to the signals and safeguards that are in place. Because cancer cells don’t respond appropriately, they grow uncontrollably and can eventually damage the tissues around them. If cancer cells continue to grow, they will eventually form a mass called a tumor.
