Cancer
stem cells Cancer stem cells are a subgroup of cancer cells that have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into many different types of cancer cell. They play a key role in the growth and spread of cancer, as they can continually give rise to new and more aggressive cancer cells. Furthermore, these cancer stem cells are more resistant to conventional treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy, making them an important target for new cancer therapies. In recent years, cancer stem cell research has advanced greatly, and there are now several new and promising treatments being tested in clinical trials. In the future, it is hoped that targeting cancer stem cells could lead to more effective and long-lasting treatments for cancer.
