To demonstrate what is indicated by natural growth control, the skin has to be taken into account. The outermost covering of normal skin, known as the epidermis which is thin is about the thickness of a dozen cells. Cells in the lowermost row of this layer, known as the basal layer, split merely quickly in a sufficient manner to refill cells that are constantly being discarded from the surface of the skin. Every time one of these basal cells splits, it gives rise to a couple of cells. One stays in the basal layer and holds on to the ability to split. The other drifts out of the basal layer and no longer possess the ability to split. The number of cells that split in the basal layer thus remains unaltered.

During the growth of skin cancer, the natural balance between cell division and cell loss is disturbed.
