Basal-like breast cancers: the phenotypic disparity between the cancer-initiating cells and tumor histology.

Breast cancer research : BCR - 1 Jan 2010

Raouf Afshin

Abstract excerpt

Recent evidence suggests that a rare-cell population with a stem cell phenotype maintains breast tumors. Therefore, to devise breast cancer therapies that are more effective, we need to understand the unique biology of these cancer stem cells. Currently, very little is known about the origin of cancer stem cells and their relationship to the tumor phenotype. A recent study from Smalley's group demonstrates that...
