Most current therapies cannot cure advanced cancer. Resistance to chemo- and radiotherapy has been reported to be a defining characteristic of cancer stem cells (CSCs) and CSC markers were linked to the poor clinical outcome. Many intrinsic determinants were attributed to the radioresistance of CSCs. However, we are still far from complete understanding of the molecular mechanisms regulating tumor radiocurability.
Emerging genomics, proteomics and high throughput screening technologies expand our knowledge regarding the role of specific genes and proteins in the regulation of CSC properties. New therapeutic strategies that selectively target CSC population, coupled with using of CSC biomarkers as predictors of therapeutic response, should confer a significant clinical benefit over conventional treatments.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
