Cells in a malignant tumor do not respond to density-dependent inhibition signals while cells in a benign tumor stop proliferating when they reach appropriate density. Cells in a malignant tumor do not need to replicate their DNA before division while cells in a benign tumor must. Cells in a malignant tumor are unable to respond to any extracellular signals while cells in a benign tumor can still respond to some signaling Cells in a malignant tumor can survive and proliferate at another site in the body while cells in a benign tumor cannot
