Emerging evidence suggests that tumors contain and are driven by a cellular component
that displays stem cell properties, the so‐called cancer stem cells (CSCs). CSCs have been
identified in several solid human cancers; however, there are no data about CSCs in primary
human gastric cancer (GC). By using CD133 and CD44 cell surface markers we investigated
whether primary human GCs contain a cell subset expressing stem‐like properties and
whether this subpopulation has tumor‐initiating properties in xenograft transplantation …
