商品描述

This book comprehensively reviews the role of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in cancer initiation, progression, and resistance to anticancer therapies. The initial chapters examine the methods and procedure of the detection, isolation, and characterization of CSCs. It also introduces various epigenetic pathways that contribute to cancer initiation and tumorigenesis, particularly regarding the maintenance and survival of CSCs. It also explores the role of CSCs metabolism and the mechanisms of metabolic plasticity of CSCs in cancer biology. Further, it also presents the implications of CSCs on the origin of tumor heterogeneity and on heterogeneity of the therapeutic response. Towards the end, this book highlights the different immunotherapeutic approaches targeting CSCs with the potential of strongly improving cancer outcomes. This book offers a broad framework to scientists and clinicians into the state-of-the-art knowledge on cancer stem cell biology and highlights their therapeutic implications.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書全面回顧了癌症幹細胞（CSCs）在癌症發生、進展及對抗癌療法抵抗中的角色。初始章節探討了檢測、分離和特徵化CSCs的方法和程序。書中還介紹了多種促進癌症發生和腫瘤生成的表觀遺傳途徑，特別是關於CSCs的維持和存活。它還探討了CSCs代謝的角色以及CSCs在癌症生物學中代謝可塑性的機制。此外，本書還呈現了CSCs對腫瘤異質性起源及治療反應異質性的影響。最後，本書強調了針對CSCs的不同免疫療法，這些療法有潛力顯著改善癌症治療結果。本書為科學家和臨床醫生提供了一個廣泛的框架，介紹了癌症幹細胞生物學的最新知識，並突顯了其治療意涵。
