Once the cell wall is damaged, the cell itself becomes vulnerable.

Damage is all that is needed to lead to cancer. The cell wall/membrane can be damaged. The DNA can have single and double strand breaks. Any function can be damaged and lead to it, but the DNA changes are what the medical field has pointed out as known carcinogenic outcomes of cell damages to create cancer. NASA is aware of astronauts that come back from space and have damages in the DNA from radiation in space. That has also been seen in large nuclear reactor leak situations. And our everyday environment is a large cause in many damages or changes in bodily functions.

The cell cycle is actually divided into different phase or checkpoints, namely G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase and M (Mitotic) phase. De-regulation of the cell cycle can occur when any of the cell cycle checkpoints is not functioning properly, as such, allowing cells with DNA Damage to continue DNA replication and cell division. When this abnormal cells replicate, they will form the so-called cancer cells.
