Cancer stem cells are stem cell-like cells in many tumors that are key contributors to the ability of tumors to persist and recur after treatment. For those reasons, they are also thought to be major targets, including of emerging therapies. Data also suggest that some therapies may create new types of cancer stem cells leading to problems down the road. As a cancer and stem cell biologist as well as a cancer survivor, I find cancer stem cells to be particularly interesting.
