Summary:
New studies presented at the 2007 Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research are showing that stem cells could be a significant factor in determining the cause of and new treatments for cancers:
"Recent discoveries about the role of stem cells in cancer have altered the landscape of cancer research. With each new study, scientists are learning more about cancer-initiating properties of stem cells at organ sites and throughout the body. Increasingly, stem cells are examined as the cause - and potential target of treatment - for many, if not all, cancers."
