Brief description At the root of many cancers are rare cells that sustain a tumour’s ability to grow and spread. These rare cells, termed “cancer stem cells”, are poorly understood and unfortunately are not eliminated by most current cancer therapies. Thus, after a course of chemotherapy that has eradicated the bulk of the tumour, these rare cells can persist and allow the disease to return. The aim of this proposal is to better characterize cancer stem cells so that improved therapies can be devised.
