Single-Molecule Genomic Data Delineate Patient-Specific Tumor Profiles and Cancer Stem Cell Organization
23 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Substantial evidence supports the concept that cancers are organized in a cellular hierarchy with cancer stem cells (CSC) at the apex. To date, the primary evidence for CSCs derives from transplantation assays, which have known limitations. In particular, they are unable to report on the fate of cells within the original human tumor. Because of the difficulty in measuring tumor characteristics in patients,...
