Abstract
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the seventh most common cancer in women around the world and current therapies very rarely provide complete disease relapse. The cancer stem cell (CSC) concept has been the subject of broad recent studies. In this review the authors present basic identification methods on ovarian CSCs and current therapeutic approaches linked to this concept.
