Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are primarily maintained by a network of pluripotency transcription factors (PTFs). Given a close relationship of CSC regulation with epidermal growth factor receptor and vascular endothelial growth factor signalling, we investigated whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in PTF genes are related to the efficacy of cetuximab and/or bevacizumab in patients with...
