According to researchers, common cancer treatments such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy may have the undesirable effect of helping to create cancer stem cells. These cells are thought to be particularly adept at generating new tumors and are especially resistant to treatment. The finding might help explain why late-stage cancers are often resistant to both radiation therapy and chemotherapy, and it could point to new strategies to fight tumors.

Dangerous Cancer Stem Cells Might Be Created By Radiation and Chemotherapy
According to researchers, common cancer treatments such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy may have the undesirable effect of helping to create cancer stem cells. These cells are thought to be particularly adept at generating new tumors and are especially resistant to treatment. The finding might help explain why late-stage cancers are often resistant to both radiation therapy and chemotherapy, and it could point to new strategies to fight tumors. Past ...
