A cancer stem cell model for studying brain metastases from primary lung cancer.

Brain metastases are most common in adults with lung cancer, predicting uniformly poor patient outcome, with a median survival of only months. For the first time, we demonstrate the presence of a stem like population in brain metastases from the lung".
