Abstract:
CD133 has been confirmed as a stem cell surface marker in a variety of tumors.Specific markers of cancer stem cells in the thyroid cancer are not yet clear.Results of some studies showed that expression of CD133 was found in undifferentiated thyroid cancer cells which had the characteristics of stem cells.Those cells had the ability to self-renewal,multi-directional differentiation,potential development to cancer,and radio-and chemotherapy resistance.This article mainly views the progresses of CD133 in thyroid cancer research.
