One branch of cancer research looks at fetal development. Genetic "programming" that allows rapid proliferation and cell migration, including fuel partitioning towards where it's most needed in that situation can be hijacked through mutation where it's inappropriately expressed etc. There's a process for instance where neighbouring tissue that's not directly involved in growth assists through changes in metabolism that produce organic molecules useful to the cancer, this is a theme that shows up in various areas where there's rapid proliferation, wound healing is another that comes to mind.
