Neoplastic stem cells: A novel therapeutic target in clinical oncology [PDF]
Cancer, 2006 AbstractCancer is among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the Western world. Despite recent advances, most therapeutic approaches fail to eradicate the entire neoplastic clone. The remaining cells often develop metastasis and/or recurrences and therefore may represent attractive targets of therapy.

Neoplastic human embryonic stem cells as a model of radiation resistance of human cancer stem cells [PDF]
Oncotarget, 2015 Studies have implicated that a small sub-population of cells within a tumour, termed cancer stem cells (CSCs), have an enhanced capacity for tumour formation in multiple cancers and may be responsible for recurrence of the disease after treatment, including radiation.
