Abstract
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treating cancer, containing a polyphenol compound as an active ingredient. The pharmaceutical composition according to the present study is very effective for the treatment and prognosis-improvement of cancer stem cells or cancer tissues having a magnitude of cancer stem cells such as poorly differentiated cancer. Further, the polyphenol compound and a biguanide compound, and an anticancer agent were observed to remarkably increase inhibitory effects on the growth of cancerous cells when they were administered to cancerous cells in combination rather than individually, thus the composition is expected to find great applications in the cancer therapy field.
