5)   Cancerous cell does not require oxygen but oxygen is must for normal cell
6)   Cancer cell give no response to the external signal as given by normal cell.
7)   There are no repair system for cancerous cell but normal cell have repair system.
8)   Cancer cell donor communicate with other cell for restriction of growth as done by the normal cell,they only fill space.
