摘要: Cancer stem cells have recently been proposed to play a significant role in the initiation and propagation of tumor cells. They display indefinite self-renewal capacity multilineage potential as well an excessive proliferation capacity. are quiescent with low mitotic frequencies. seem be relatively radioresistant demonstrated increase relative amount following radiotherapy. The express number marker molecules, which hopefully can used for therapeutic purposes. These possibilities will discussed this chapter.
