Overview
Objective:
Analysis of current knowledge of cancer stem cells subpopulation in ovarian cancer.
Design:
Review article
Methods:
The review of literature about cancer stem cells in ovarian cancer.
Conclusion:
The cancer stem cells (CSCs) hypothesis is becoming more widely accepted as a model for carcinogenesis. It is assumed that cancer stem cells research could provide novel target therapeutics.
Key words:
cancer stem cells –ovarian cancer
