Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most common tumor, which lacks of effective clinical treatment to lead to de-sirable prognosis. According to cancer stem cell hypothesis, lung cancer stem cells are considered to be responsible for carcino-genesis, development, metastasis, recurrence, invasion, resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy of lung cancer. In recent years, more and more institutes used glycosylated CD 133 epitopes to define, isolate, purify lung cancer stem cells. However, along with deeply research, the application of CD 133 epitopes in lung cancer stem cell research is questioned. The utilization and limitation of CD 133 epitopes in lung cancer stem cells research for the past few years is summaried in this review.关键词
