Cancer stem cells

Note:  Cancer stem cells are not your normal stem cells.
Quote: " It is essential to appreciate that the field of solid tumor CSC research remains at a nascent stage compared with the leukemia stem cell (LSC) field, and, therefore, our understanding of solid tumor CSCs and their significance is a work in progress. "

Understanding fundamental biology is fundamental to the cure for solid cancers.
