Abstract:The successful separation of breast cancer stem cell (BCSC) is the foundation of BCSC research. At present, people could gather BCSC to some extent in a number of ways. However, as more and more biomarkers are found in BCSC separation, the heterogeneity becomes a hot spot. How to gather BCSC as much as possible and how to explain the heterogeneity could provide new insights in the treatment of breast cancer.
