    small subset of tumor cells that can self-renew and differentiate

    Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) are a small subset of cells within a tumor that possess the ability to self-renew and differentiate into various cell types found in the cancer. These cells are thought to be responsible for tumor growth, metastasis, and recurrence after treatment, making them a critical target for cancer therapies.
