Cancer stem cells are able to reside deep within the tumor in hypoxic regions that are normally toxic to normal cells, whilst CSCs are able to release factors such as hypoxia-inducible factor 1 which induces the release of proangiogenic factors, this position means CSCs are inaccessible to drugs or are exposed to reduced drug doses.
