Aim: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) or tumor-initiating cells have self-renewal and uncontrolled tumor growth capacity that promotes metastasis and recurrence. Challenges in anticancer have found a lateral dimension of treatment against a new pattern of tumor microcirculation, known as vasculogenic mimicry (VM), involved in cancer progression. Increasing evidence suggest that CSCs are involved in the formation of VM. In this review the correlation between CSCs and VM formation is been enlightened. Materials and Methods: The literature search was done in Medline, PubMed, Wiley, Science Direct, and Scopus. The keywords used for database search were cancer stem cells, vasculogenic mimicry, and anticancer therapy. Results: A total of 112 articles appeared from various sources, of which 102 were subjected for screening and 20 were related to the research objective. Conclusion: Based on the literature a positive correlation exists between CSC and VM, which plays a key role in tumor progression, and hence, can serve as a potential target in anticancer therapy.
