    I would go so far as to say that the rate makes much of a difference. I mean skin cells are constantly dividing, differentiating and being replaced. The connection is that mitosis is no longer regulated. The cell releases signals in order to tell the cell when to divide and when not to, usually in the form of a protien, steroids (hormones) or other various transcription factors. Usually, cancer occurs when these chemicals are compromised. The cell is no longer able to control when it divides and when it does not. Since interphase is essentially the cell making sure everything is "ok" to begin replicating, and this phase is drastically reduced, various errors occur in replication of new DNA and organelles. The accumulation of these errors causes cancer to proliferate.

    Again, cancer cells do divide quicker, but it's the errors in mitosis that do the cells in.
