Excerpt: Anti-cancer treatments often effectively shrink the size of tumors, but
some might have an opposite effect, actually expanding the small population of
cancer stem cells believed to drive the disease, according to findings presented
today in Atlanta, Georgia at the American Association for Cancer Research's
second International Conference on Molecular Diagnostics in Cancer Therapeutic
Development. "Our experiments suggest that some treatments could be producing
more cancer stem cells that then are capable of metastasizing, because these
cells are trying to find a way to survive the therapy," said (...).
