Definitions

  • Solid cancers are thought to be organized hierarchically with a small number of cancer-initiating cells (CICs; often also called “cancer stem cells’) at the apex of this hierarchy, able to repopulate and regrow the tumor, while their progeny lack these traits.
  • CICs cancer-initiating cells
  • BCICs breast-cancer initiating cells
  • the radioresistance of BCICs has been independently confirmed by others and similar results have been reported for glioblastoma.
  • This treatment resistance leads to a selective killing of non- stem cancer cells and thereby enrichment for CICs.
  • selective killing of non-stem cancer cells alone cannot explain the magnitude of CIC enrichment by radiation. Indeed, it has been demonstrated that radiation not only spares CICs but also triggers a phenotype conversion of non-stem cancer cells into induced CICs (iCICs). Therefore, new treatments for cancer are needed.
