Colorectal cancer stem cells: regulation of the phenotype and implications for therapy resistance

BL Emmink

Research output: ThesisDoctoral thesis 1 (Research UU / Graduation UU)

Abstract

In this thesis different aspects of cancer stem cells in colorectal cancer are discribed. We focus on the therapy resistance of cancer stem cells and the effect that reactive oxygen species and hypoxia have on the cancer stem cell phenotype. For this purpose a novel culture method to propagate cancer stem cells form resected tumor specimens was used
