Abstract
Experimental data suggest that glioblastoma cells expressing the stem cell marker CD133 play a major role in radiochemoresistance and tumor aggressiveness. To date, however, there is no clinical evidence that the fraction of CD133-positive cells in glioblastoma that recurs after radiochemotherapy may be relevant for prognosis.
