Abstract
Squamous carcinoma stem cells (SCSC) are identified. The cells can be prospectively isolated or identified from primary tumor samples, and are shown to possess the unique properties of cancer stem cells in functional assays for cancer stem cell self-renewal and differentiation, and to form unique histological microdomains useful in cancer diagnosis.
