Evidence for circulating cancer stem-like cells and epithelial–mesenchymal transition phenotype in the pleurospheres derived from lung adenocarcinoma using liquid biopsy
Lung cancer stem cells are supposed to be the main drivers of tumor initiation, maintenance, drug resistance, and relapse of the disease. Hence, identification of the cellular and molecular aspects of these cells is a prerequisite for targeted therapy of lung cancer. Currently, analysis of circulati...
