Abstract

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are cells in a tumor which can begin to grow, develop, and induce resistance in the tumor. Recent studies have shown that as with mesenchymal stem cells, CSCs can also regenerate themselves and be involved in tumorigenesis. Recent advances in detection of biomarkers for identifying CSCs as well as development of new techniques for evaluating the tumorigenesis and carcinogenesis roles of CSCs have been considerable. In recent years, more systematic review papers have been published about CSCs and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), highlighting the need to accumulate information and draw final conclusions from these studies. Methods: This research protocol for review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) checklist. The protocol for this meta-analysis was registered on PROSPERO (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews) and the registration number is CRD42022301720. Results: We identified 8 review articles about CSCs in HNSCCs. Conclusions: This umbrella review provides a comprehensive summary of the body of published systematic reviews and reviews in CSCs and HNSCCs. There is strong evidence suggesting that targeting the cancer stem cells could lead to a more definitive response, since the cancer stem cells are the putative drivers of recurrence and metastatic spread in HNSCCs. © Journal of Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine.
