And in recent years, the role of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) in malignant tumors has been valued. This paper will briefly review and discuss the relationship between BCSCs and EMT. %K Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition %K Breast Cancer Stem Cells %K E-Cadherin %K Vimentin %K Signaling Pathway %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=116814
