Interesting keyword to research: "p53".
Example (very readable): https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00NB14L6Y https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00NB14L6Y
> If a cell makes a mistake in copying its DNA during the process of division, p53 stops it in its tracks, summoning a repair team before allowing the cell to carry on dividing. If the mistake is irreparable and the rogue cell threatens to grow out of control, p53 commands the cell to commit suicide. Cancer cannot develop unless p53 itself is damaged or prevented from functioning normally.
