Prevalence of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Stem Cells Correlates with Recurrence in Early-Stage Ovarian Cancer
Figure 4
EOC stem cells present unique morphological characteristics. CD44+ EOC stem cells are characterized by high nuclear to cytoplasm (N/C) ratio, contain vesicular chromatin pattern, and have prominent nucleoli. The cells can be found as single cells (a) or clusters of two or more cells (b–d).
