Core Tip

Core tip: Many studies have reported the presence of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in breast cancer (BC), highlighting the correlation between CSCs and BC aggressiveness. Sex steroids and steroid receptors play a pivotal role in BCSCs. By controlling different pathways, BCSCs are able to influence both BC recurrence and drug resistance. Therefore, better knowledge of BCSC features and behavior would be useful to employ these cells as BC prognostic factors, and develop new promising therapies targeting these cells and improving BC recurrence.
