Clinical Impact of Breast Cancer Stem Cells in Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients.

This study further validates the BCSC expression as a poor prognostic biomarker correlated with poor response, short PFS and OS. So, it could be used as a marker for tailoring treatment with different lines of therapies in further studies. The BCSC expression was highly presented in the triple negative subtype which is an aggressive disease that lacks different targets. So, targeting BCSC may carry a hope in future for this group of patients.
