WRONG TARGET. Traditional cancer therapies (top) kill rapidly dividing tumor cells (red) but may spare stem cells (blue) that can give rise to a new tumor. In theory, killing cancer stem cells (bottom) should halt a tumor's growth and perhaps even lead to its disappearance.
传统的肿瘤治疗仅仅是杀死快速分裂的肿瘤细胞,如果我们针对肿瘤干细胞进行化疗应该会使肿瘤的生长停滞,甚至会使肿瘤消失。
