But this is the first-known case of a brain tumor caused by a brain stemcell therapy, according to the report-a phenomenon scientists have predicted in the pages of Scientific American and elsewhere.
The theory of cancer stemcell proposes that the tumor tissue has its own cancer stem cells in it and regards cancer stem cell as the key to regeneration, metastasis and recurrence.
In this review we present scientific evidence supporting the cancer stemcell model of tumor progression, and discuss the experimental and therapeutic implications.
