Stem Cell Therapies Approach for Treating Cancers: Opportunity Progress and Challenges

For the past few years cancer is the second most primary reason for death among human. There are several treatment techniques are raised till now. But they all have side effects and they do not completely eradicate the cancer. Therapy resistant and progression of cancer are frequently caused by the inadequate and generalized targets of conventional therapeutic techniques in the treatment of cancer. Hence, the treatment of the cancer has a challenging one. Over the last decade, stem cell based therapy techniques have become increasingly appealing treatment choices. Although stem cells can be used for regenerative therapy, therapeutic transporters for drugs, biomedical applications, drug targeting and immune cell production, they also show remarkable biological behaviors such as self-renewal, direct motility, differentiating, and immuno regulatory methods. Stem cells are recently being used as delivery vehicles for a variety of specific proteins and viruses, particularly in cancer therapy. The goal of this chapter is i). To highlight a number of research that have effectively used these techniques to combat distinct cancer kinds; ii) With a focus on a variety of factors which are crucial to the victory of future in cancer stem cell therapy and; iii) Focuses on stem cells, is types, properties and stem cell therapies.
