    Well, there are always researchers studying cancer, but as the question is asking otherwise, it must be answered.

    Cancer Cells can multiply in culture (outside of the body in a dish) without any growth factors, or growth-stimulating protein signals being added. This is different from normal cells, which need growth factors to grow in culture.
