Abstract excerpt
Chemoresistance in cancer is linked to a subset of cancer cells termed "cancer stem cells" (CSCs), and in particular, those expressing the CD44 variant appear to represent a more aggressive disease phenotype. Herein, we demonstrate that CD44v6 represents a CSC population with increased resistance to chemotherapeutic agents, and its high expression is frequently associated with poor overall survival (OS) and...
