Cancer stem cells: A new target for cancer therapy
2018
The introduction of the theory of cancer stem
cells (CSCs) has provided a new direction and
perspective for our understanding of the nature and
origin of tumors. Cancer stem cells are believed to be
responsible for the treatment failure, drug tolerance,
metastasis, and recurrence of tumors. However, it
remains a challenge to identify or isolate tumor stem
cells and determine their regulatory mechanisms.
Therefore, further understanding of the biological
characteristics and functions of CSCs is of great
practical significance and value to develop new methods
of tumor diagnosis and treatment, and may bring new
hope patients with cancer.
