Abstract

Background: Emerging evidences proposed that microRNAs are associated with regulation of distinct physiopathological processes including development of normal stem cells and carcinogenesis. In this study we aimed to investigate microRNA profile of cancer stem-like cells (CSLCs) isolated form freshly resected larynx cancer (LCa) tissue samples.
