credited. Abstract: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent a unique subset of cells within a tumor that possess self-renewal capacity and pluripotency‚ and can drive tumor initiation and maintenance. First identified in hematological malignancies‚ CSCs are now thought to play an important role in a wide variety of solid tumors such as NSCLC‚ breast and colorectal cancer. The role of CSCs in driving tumor formation illustrates the dysregulation of differentiation in tumorigenesis. The Wnt‚ Notch
