Abstract A016: Polyploid giant cancer cells secrete Interferon-beta to induce chemoresistant cell states in fusion-negative rhabdomyosarcoma
Fusion-negative rhabdomyosarcoma (FN-RMS) is a childhood muscle cancer where relapse and refractory disease lead to poor outcomes. Our group has recently shown that FN-RMS is a cancer stem cell (CSC) disease and that these CD44+/CD90+/EGFR+ cells likely contribute to therapy-resistance, yet the precise mechanisms gov...
