A decade ago, cancer stem cells (CSCs) were introduced as target cells for an innovative cancer treatment. Particularly, there have been a lot of biological researches on glioblastoma (GBM) CSCs. However, as there is a comprehensive change in the concept of CSCs, it is required to review how the different CSCs for patients can be clinically used, or clinical credentialing, and summarize the possibilities of clinical credentialing.
