Cancer Stem Cell Pathway (CSC Pathway)

Target
CSC Pathway
Molecular classification
Signaling pathway, Regulatory network
01

Overview

The "cancer stem cell pathway" encompasses several interrelated intracellular signaling cascades—most notably Wnt/β-catenin, Notch, Hedgehog, JAK/STAT, NF‑κB—that maintain the unique properties of cancer stem cells. These networks are central targets for next-generation anti-cancer strategies aimed at improving long-term patient outcomes by eradicating resistant tumor-driving cells.
