A research team has developed an approach to significantly reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and metastasis after surgery, by targeting both bulk cancer cells and the elusive cancer stem cells (CSCs) responsible for relapse.

Transforming growth factor (sometimes referred to as Tumor growth factor, or TGF) is used to describe two classes of polypeptide growth factors, TGFα and TGFβ.
The name "Transforming Growth Factor" is somewhat arbitrary, since the two classes of TGFs are not structurally or genetically related to one another, and they act through different receptor mechanisms. Furthermore, they do not always induce cellular transformation, and are not the only growth factors that induce cellular transformation.
