| Abstract | Understanding the progression of a primary cancer to the metastatic stage has been the focus of extensive research for years. Commonly accepted concepts in this process (i.e., that of genetic instability and loss of normal cellular constraints on growth and motility) are well established. Other important paradigms, such as the necessary change from an epithelial cell phenotype displaying cell-cell adhesions to a singular and motile mesenchymal-like cell phenotype (possibly derived from a stem cell-like cell) via a process similar to epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), are less well understood. In this review we will address studies linking EMT and cancer stem cells during cancer development and observations that are challenging these concepts. |
