Cancer Stem Cells—Perspectives on Current Status and Future Directions: AACR Workshop on Cancer Stem Cells

Abstract

A workshop was convened by the AACR to discuss the rapidly emerging cancer stem cell model for tumor development and progression. The meeting participants were charged with evaluating data suggesting that cancers develop from a small subset of cells with self-renewal properties analogous to organ
