The Fuzzy Math of Solid Tumor Stem Cells: A Perspective

1 Oct 2007

Abstract excerpt

Apparently effective therapeutic agents very often fail to cure cancer patients. It is therefore attractive to wonder whether a specific resistant cell subset should be recognized and separately targeted. In solid tumors, such as carcinomas, a minor population of "cancer stem cells" has been proposed and sought experimentally in human tumors and isolated cell populations. It is often overlooked that the rationale...
