Clinical and therapeutic implications of cancer stem cells

MF Clarke - New England Journal of Medicine, 2019 - Mass Medical Soc
Cancer Stem Cells Cancers arise in tissues that can replicate and self-renew. Like normal
tissues, cancers can replenish themselves, grow, and metastasize because of stem cells that …
