As far as I understand, cancer exists because some cells mutate and become immortal, they refuse to kill themselves and they reproduce without restrictions.
Hypertumor cells are cancer cells that somehow exploit normal cancer cells, leading to death of said normal cancer cells. I have no idea how such exploitation is supposed to work.

They don’t become immortal, they just don’t kill themselves after replicating (or some other instruction they were supposed to follow but don’t) the important thing in this regard is that they then imbed themselves somewhere, and start using resources that your body would normally use. Hyper tumours are essentially a cancer of a cancer tumour, so a spin off cell from the original cancerous set, which then imbeds itself onto the tumour, and uses up the resources that the tumour was using.
