Abstract
Background: Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed life-threatening cancer in women and the leading cause of cancer death among women. Now there is extraordinary progress in our understanding of the disease, resulting in more efficient and less toxic treatments. Increased public awareness and improved screening have led to earlier diagnosis at stages amenable to complete surgical resection and curative therapies. Consequently, survival rates for breast cancer have improved significantly, particularly in younger women. Stem cells are one of the human body’s master cells with the ability to grow into any one of the body’s cell types. They are unspecialized and undifferentiated cells capable of self proliferation, migration and differentiation. The distinct characteristic associated with the stem cell is their potential of self renewal and capacity to differentiate into specialized cell. In short they are immature precursor cells with a capacity to specialize and differentiate into a mature specialized cell. Aim of the Work: This work is aiming at studying the role of stem cells in breast cancer. Conclusion: The therapeutic applications of stem cells is a promising and rapidly emerging branch of regenerative medicine in which stem cell-based treatments could be applied to treat and cure breast cancer in humans.
