Ovarian Cancer Stem Cell–Like Side Populations Are Enriched Following Chemotherapy and Overexpress <i>EZH2</i>
7 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
Platinum-based chemotherapy, with cytoreductive surgery, is the cornerstone of treatment of advanced ovarian cancer; however, acquired drug resistance is a major clinical obstacle. It has been proposed that subpopulations of tumor cells with stem cell-like properties, such as so-called side populations (SP) that overexpress ABC drug transporters, can sustain the growth of drug-resistant tumor cells, leading to...
