Today, cancer is the second most prevalent cause of death, after
heart disease, in the industrialised world. 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 tumour tissues contain a kind of stem cells, so called
cancer cells. These cancer stem cells have been described as
chemo-radiation therapy resistant tumour initiating cells. The
purpose of this book is to summarise the latest findings about the
role of stem cells in cancer.
