Index. 330 $aThe existence of ?cancer stem cells? (CSCs) has been a topic of heated debate for the last few years within the field of cancer biology. Their continuous characterization in a variety of solid tumors has lead to an abundance of evidence supporting their existence.  CSCs are believed to be responsible for resistance against conventional treatment regimes of chemotherapy and radiation, ultimately, leading to metastasis and patient demise. To help aid clinicians, pharmaceutical companies and academic labs investigating how to better kill these highly aggressive cells we have summarized the DNA repair mechanism(s) and their role in the maintenance and regulation of both normal and cancer stem cells. Our book represents a comprehensive investigation into the highly effective DNA repair mechanisms of CSCs and what we need to understand in order to develop more advanced therapies to eradicate them from patients. Currently, there are no other published works entirely on DNA repair and Cancer Stem Cells. In addition, our book provides a comprehensive overview of CSC isolation and characterization from a variety of solid tumor types. . 606 $aCancer cells 606 $aDNA repair 615 0$aCancer cells. 615 0$aDNA repair. 676 $a616.99 676 $a616.99/4071 701 $aMathews$b Lesley A$01758217 701 $aCabarcas$b Stephanie M$01758218 701 $aHurt$b Elaine M$01758219 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437607903321 996 $aDNA repair of cancer stem cells$94196376 997 $aUNINA
