This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the characteristics of CSCs, their role in central nervous system (CNS) tumors, and the recent CSC-specific treatment modalities being used. The emerging focus on CSCs in brain tumors represents a paradigm shift in our understanding of the pathogenesis of these neoplasms. Importantly, the realization that a distinct sub-population of cells contributes disproportionately to the growth and sustenance of central nervous system tumors has important implications for the treatment of such tumors. To treat CNS tumors, there is now a growing need to treat CSCs to achieve adequate tumor control"--Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Stem cells. 650 0 $a Central nervous system $x Tumors. 650 12 $a Central Nervous System Neoplasms $x physiopathology. $2 [MeSH] 650 12 $a Neoplastic Stem Cells $x physiology. $2 [MeSH] 650 22 $a Anti-Neoplastic Agents $x therapeutic use. $2 [MeSH] 650 22 $a Central Nervous System Neoplasms $x therapy. $2 [MeSH] 700 1 $a Ehtesham, Moneeb, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Stem cell biology in neoplasms of the central nervous system. $d Cham : Springer, [2015] $z 9783319165370 $w (OCoLC)908030555 830 0 $a Advances in experimental medicine and biology ; $v v. 853. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180112013745.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B137868A6BEF11E5917E58C1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
