This special issue of the European Journal of Cancer focuses on the cancer stem cell and comprises a wide spectrum of excellent articles.
Over the past five years, we have seen a steady rise in publication activity in this
subject area (Fig. 1) and it seems appropriate to take stock of where we are in this rapidly emerging
field. This is a topic of considerable interest to both clinical and experimental
oncologists and the collection of review articles covers aspects of cancer stem cells
ranging from clinical issues, such as new therapies, through to cell signalling and
model systems (Fig. 2).

2001–2005. As an indication of activity in the field, the phrase ‘cancer stem cells’
was used to search PubMed. The graph indicates the number of publications per year.
