These are the hallmarks of cancer.
1. Increased activity of oncogenes.
2. Decreased activity of tumor suppressor genes.
3. Defect in apoptosis mechanism.
4. Uncontrolled cell proliferation (like due to Alternate Lengthening of Telomere etc.)
5. Growth of blood vessels - Angeogenesis (drugs like Avastin target this).
6. Tumor invasion and metastasis.
