Core Tip |
The review aims to introduce the field of cancer stem cells (CSCs) and the important signaling pathways in CSCs and present approved inhibitors as well as candidate drugs. Due to the complexity of the crosstalk among various signaling pathways, current strategies involve the development of multitarget inhibitors, combination therapy and precision treatments based on the genetic characteristics of patients. Other methods targeting CSCs are introduced as well, including nano-drug delivery systems, mitochondrion targeting, hyperthermia, immunotherapy and CSC microenvironment targeting. However, this field still remains in its infancy, and considerable research will be required to produce mature products that can contribute to curing cancer. |
