Till now, and despite promising results in cancer research, the primary cause of death in cancer is still 1: the formation of metastases at distant organs sites, 2: the presence of cancer cells that are resistant to current cancer therapies (chemotherapy/radiation) and which cause cancer relapse. Within the past three years it became evident that also solid tumor tissues contain a kind of stem cells, so-called cancer cells. These cancer stem cells have been described as chemo-/radiation therapy resistant tumor initating cells. The purpose of this book is to summarize the latest findings about the role of stem cells in cancer. 606 $aCancer cells 606 $aStem cells 615 0$aCancer cells. 615 0$aStem cells. 676 $a616.99/4071 701 $aDittmar$b Thomas$01867198 701 $aZa?nker$b Kurt S$01867199 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958762503321 996 $aCancer and stem cells$94474669 997 $aUNINA
