Abstract

Glycosylated antitumor ether lipids (GAELs) are effective cytotoxic agents against cancer stem cells. Furthermore, combining GAELs which kill cells by a caspase-independent pathway with agents that kill cells by apoptosis will lead to elimination of the differentiated tumor cells and the undifferentiated cancer stem cells leading to an elimination of the tumor and preventing recurrence.
