There are multiple proteins in the cell that detect things like massive DNA damage and stop the multiplication process. Cancer occurs when one of these monitors gets mutated. p53 and Rb are two such proteins.
Another way cancer can occur is if a protein that PROMOTES cell division gets mutated and amplified in some way
