摘要: Gastrointestinal cancers remain a tremendous burden on society. Despite advances in therapy options, including chemotherapy and radiation, cancer mortality from recurrences metastases occur frequently. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) drive disease recurrence metastasis, as these are uniquely equipped to self-renew evade therapy.
