"Normal" cells stop dividing when they come into contact with like cells, a mechanism known as contact inhibition. Cancerous cells lose this ability. Pictures of cancer cells show that cancerous cells lose the ability to stop dividing when they contact similar cells.

Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, anticancer drugs can stop these cells for dividing. Sometimes they do not respond.
