Core Tip Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are key drivers of tumor recurrence, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance in non-small cell lung cancer. This retrospective study systematically evaluated the prognostic significance of the CSC-related markers CD133, aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1, and SRY-box transcription factor 2 using immunohistochemistry in surgically resected non-small cell lung cancer tissues. We further developed a composite CSC score integrating multiple stemness markers, which significantly improved the prognostic stratification beyond conventional clinicopathological factors. Its potential clinical value lies in complementary postoperative risk enrichment, closer surveillance planning, and future integration with molecular subtyping, rather than the replacement of existing decision frameworks.
