Targeting Cancer Stem Cells to Overcome Therapy Resistance: Mechanisms, Biomarkers, and Clinical Translation

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a therapy-resistant subpopulation that drives tumor initiation, progression, metastasis, and recurrence. Their capacity for self-renewal, plasticity, and adaptation underpins resistance to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy, making them a central obstacle to long-term therapeutic success. Eradicating CSCs is thus recognized as a critical goal in improving long-term patient survival.
