Signaling pathway promotes cancer growth by blocking pro-growth signals from second major cancer pathway

Sometimes, too much of a good thing can turn out to be bad. This is certainly the case for the excessive cell growth found in cancer. But when cancers try to grow too fast, this excessive speed can cause a type of cellular ageing that actually results in arrested growth.
