Summary:
A few bad stem cells may be responsible for most cancers, Canadian scientists looking into the root causes of colon cancer reported, indicating hope for better cancer treatments in the next decade. Abnormal stem cells have also been identified as the source of the disease in certain types of leukemia, as well as in breast and brain tumors. Researchers hope the findings may lead to better cancer treatments that target these stem cells.
