Abstract: Recent studies find that cancer cells which express CD133, CD90, epithelial cell adhesion molecule, CD13, chemokine receptor 4, CD44 and ATPbinding cassette transporters play important roles on growth, recurrence and metastasis of liver cancer. Liver cancer stem cells constitute by cells which have different phenotype. Mentioned above cells may be important parts of liver cancer stem cells, which bring difficulties for the further development and practical application of theory about liver cancer stem cells.【Key words】Liver neoplasms; Neoplastic stem cells; Antigens, surface
