Role of Organ Specific Cancer Stem Cells in Organ Specific Cancer Progression

Role of Organ Specific Cancer Stem Cells in Organ Specific Cancer Progression

Cancer Stem Cells since the day of their discovery in 1997 have shown great insight in the cancer progression and led to the concept of organ specific cancer progression.

Since the cancer stem cells (CSC) have been identified in 1997 by Bonnet and Dick, more than 100,000 papers have been published on the CSC. Huge research on cancer stem cells helped the scientists to rethink about the cancer therapeutics as classic way of chemotherapy is ineffective because chemotherapy failed to kill these cells, the only reason of cancer relapse. The cancer theory of stem cells is one of the most trending theory in stem cells and cancer biology focusing on the understanding of biology of cancer cells for an enhanced and improved therapeutic approaches should be applied to cure the cancer. This mini-review is a short overview on the role of organ specific cancer stem cells in the organ specific cancer progression.
