A new study suggests that the standard treatment for a common brain tumour increases the aggressiveness of surviving cancer cells, possibly leaving patients more vulnerable to tumour recurrence. The research, published by Cell Press in the March 6th issue of the journal Cell Stem Cell, provides valuable insight into the molecular mechanisms that enable cancer stem-like cells to escape cytotoxic treatment and repopulate the tumour...
