Description
This book provides an in-depth exploration of the evolving understanding of cancer, particularly oral squamous cell carcinoma, and introduces the innovative concept of cancer stem cells. As one of the most common malignancies globally, head and neck cancer remains a significant challenge, with survival rates largely stagnant despite advances in treatment. The book delves into the cancer stem cell hypothesis, which suggests that certain stem-like cells within tumors are responsible for their growth, recurrence, and resistance to traditional therapies. With a focus on the latest research, this work highlights the potential for new treatment strategies that target cancer stem cells to improve clinical outcomes and offer hope for more effective cures.
