Irradiation‐induced polyploid giant cancer cells are involved in tumor cell repopulation via neosis

Abstract excerpt

Tumor repopulation occurs when residual tumor cells surviving therapies tenaciously proliferate and re-establish the tumor. The cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this process remain poorly understood. In this study, we propose that polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs) are involved in tumor repopulation via neosis following radiotherapy. We found that although the majority of PGCCs induced by...
