The most frequently diagnosed endocrine cancer, which causes more deaths than any other endocrine cancer, is thyroid cancer. Cancer stem cells are rare cells found in tumors that can regenerate themselves, phenotypically leads to various tumor cell populations and trigger tumorigenesis. Cancer stem cells have been identified in many cancers, including thyroid cancer. Having an understanding of the molecular mechanisms which control the biology of cancer stem cells and the disease processes will help us in designing more rational targeted therapies for aggressive thyroid cancers. In this review, we aimed to present the current accepted knowledge about thyroid stem cells, information regarding the cellular origin of thyroid cancer stem cells, and the clinical results of cancer stem cells present in the thyroid gland.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
