Abstract:
Cancer stem cells are defined as the unique subpopulation in the tumors that possess the abili-ty to initiate tumor growth and sustain self-renewal as well as metastatic potential.Accumulating evidences in recent years strongly indicate the existence of cancer stem cells in solid tumors of a wide variety of organs.In recent years,many cancer stem cells have been found,including leukemia,breast cancer,brain ttunor,liv-er cancer,colon carcinoma,etc.In this review,we will discuss the conception and origin of the gastric cancer stem cells,and their role in the development of multi-drug resistance.
