| Abstract: | The hypothesis of cancer stem cells (CSCs) is receiving increasing interest and has become the subject of considerable debate among cancer researchers. Recent rapid progress in CSC research has encountered increasing difficulties and challenges. Understanding the biologic characteristic of CSCs is crucial to start with better identification and diagnosis based on CSC markers and eventually targeting to CSCs will undoubtedly result in improved prevention and treatment of many types of CSCs. We discuss here some of the approaching strategies that include establishing special methods of identifying CSCs and targeting therapies of CSCs. |
