BACKGROUND: Recent studies indicate the presence of a small, stem-like cell population in
several human cancers that is crucial for the tumour (re) population. OBJECTIVE: Six …

BACKGROUND Tumour cells with a stem cell‐like phenotype have recently been identified
in prostate tumors and it has been suggested that this population may be responsible for the …

Prostate cancer stem-like cells (PCSLCs) are considered to be the 'seed'of prostate cancer.
The aim of this study was to confirm that the PC‑3 cells, which we isolated and enriched from …

BACKGROUND: Stem-like prostate cancer cells are also called prostate cancer stem cells
(PrCSCs). These rare cells are supposed to be highly tumorigenic and to be involved in …

Current existing therapies for prostate cancer eradicate the majority of cells within a tumor.
However, most patients with advanced cancer still progress to androgen-independent …

Existing therapies for prostate cancer eradicates the bulk of cells within a tumor. However,
most patients go on to develop androgen-independent disease that remains incurable by …

Abstract Purpose Prostate cancer (PCa) becomes lethal when cancer cells develop into
castration-resistant PCa, which remains incurable because of the poor understanding of …

OBJECTIVES: Questions regarding the cell source and mechanisms in the initiation and
progression of prostate cancer are today still open for debate. Indeed, our knowledge …

Stem cells may play a role in the development and maintenance of proliferative diseases of
the prostate such as prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Cell membrane …

The cancer stem cell hypothesis postulates that a single stem-like cancer cell is able to
produce all cancer cell types found in a tumor. These cells are also thought to be the …
