Microenvironmental variables must influence intrinsic phenotypic parameters of cancer stem cells to affect tumourigenicity.

Abstract excerpt

Since the discovery of tumour initiating cells (TICs) in solid tumours, studies focussing on their role in cancer initiation and progression have abounded. The biological interrogation of these cells continues to yield volumes of information on their pro-tumourigenic behaviour, but actionable generalised conclusions have been scarce. Further, new information suggesting a dependence of tumour composition and...
