Contact inhibition helps keep cells growing in a layer that is the width of one cell. Cancer cells lose this property when they form.
Contact inhibition
by controlling the kinds of enzymes presentt in a cell, their concentration, and their activity
The average normal cells cease splitting up when they get to contact with their adjacent cells, resulting to only needed number of cells split up and stop when not needful.Therefore if cells do lose this feature, they don't terminate splitting up when they come to contact with each other. They constantly increase or multiply rapidly because contact inhibition isn't present hence resulting to tumor formation.
competitive inhibition
Cancer cells do NOT exhibit contact inhibition, meaning that when they come in contact with another cell, the do NOT stop growing.

contact inhibition and "go, no-go" switches
When grown in vitro, mammalian cells stop growing when they come into physical contact with other cells. This property of cells in culture is called contact inhibition. This is the reason why cells tend to grow in monolayers in a culture flask.Cancer cells on the other hand, have lost this ability of contact inhibition and therefore tend to over grow

high vapor rate, low contact threat
