Abstract: Side population cells (SPs) are selected by the efflux features of fluorescent dye Hoechst33342. SPs have the characteristics of cancer stem cells, and play an extremely important role in the occurrence and development of tumors. At present, the SPs in common types of malignant tumor have been studied extensively at home and abroad. The study of SPs may shed some light on the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Key words: Neoplasms, Neoplastic stem cells, Side population cells
