Research Abstract

Functional analysis of cancer stem cell is very important to establish the method of early detection and/or effective therapy for the non-small cell lung cancer since stem cells seem to be involved carcinogenesis and the resistance for the chemotherapy. In this study, we try to identify the cell populations that have cancer stem cell property and important molecule related with stem cells. We fund that the formation of sphere in serum free and anchorage-dependent culture condition was promising for the selection of stem cells population, and that epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) play the important roll in survival of cancer cells.
