Figure 1 Therapeutic implication of cancer stem cells. The failure of current standard therapies in tumor eradication can be explained by assuming that colorectal cancer stem cells (CRC-SCs) are able to survive treatments leading to an only transitory clinical remission. Therapeutic strategies that specifically target the CRC-SC pool, by eliminating the self-renewing component of the tumor mass, could be more effective in eradicating the tumor and reducing the risk of relapse and metastasis.
