A tumour stem cell hypothesis for the origins of prostate cancer.

BJU international - 1 Dec 2005

Maitland Norman J, Collins Anne

Abstract excerpt

Cancer stem cells undoubtedly exist in many tumour types, including the prostate. This hypothesis can explain both the heterogeneity of prostate tumours and their variable responses to several conventional therapies. In the longer term, therapies directed against tumour stem cells should offer a real possibility of long-term cure, rather than current palliative therapy. Identifying specific tumour stem-cell...
