Solution

Cancerous cells are ones that reproduce contantly and ignore apoptosis signals (death signals) to self-destruct, thereby preventing damage and more innefective cells. They do not function correctly, usually from irreperable DNA damage which would normally mean they would perform apoptosis to not cause further harm.
