The biologic character of cancer stem cell and targeted therapy / 肿瘤研究与临床

ABSTRACT

Cancer stem cell(CSC)plays a very important role in the genesis、relapse、metastasis and drug resistance of cancer.Traditional chemotherapeutics may kill a large part of malignant cells,but it has little effect on scanty CSC.It is enough for the relic CSC to make cancer relapse and metastasis.Targeted therapy aimed directly at CSC is the only way to cure cancer fundamentally.The specific biologic character of CSC is helpful for studying and developing targeted therapy to CSC.
