Wnt and mammalian target of rapamycin mtor are major molecular signaling pathways associated with the development and progression of tumor as well as the maintenance and proliferation of cancer stem cells cscs in colorectal cancer crc.
Colorectal cancer stem cell markers.
Cancer stem cells in progression of colorectal cancer.
This marker has been investigated to better understand the characteristics and functions of cancer stem cells.
The cancer stem cell concept of cancer is an emerging paradigm with accumulating supporting evidence in recent years.
Cancer stem cells in colorectal cancer are characterised by their expression of multiple markers.
Colorectal cancer crc is the second most common cancer in women and the third most common in men.
Adenocarcinoma accounts for 90 of crc cases.
