摘要
While a broad range of expertise has recently come to bear on the intriguing topic of "cancer stem cells," the overall relevance of stem cells as they relate to cancer remains in dispute. In this commentary, underlying points of contention are described with the aim of defining focal points for discussion and future consideration.
