Core Tip	Ovarian carcinoma, based on its biological profile and clinical course, presents a prototype of cancer stem-cell-driven disease. Ovarian cancer stem cells (CSCs) might be responsible for tumor formation, invasion, and metastasis, disease relapse and chemoresistance acquisition. For the successful treatment of this deadly disease, target therapy directed toward ovarian CSCs should be implemented. But to this, identification and characterisation of CSC subpopulations, such as very small embryonic-like stem cells, should be derived. This review’s objective is to consolidate present knowledge and to discuss future perspectives in the field of ovarian CSCs.
