Contemplated compositions and methods take advantage of one or more surface markers on cancer stem cell that are associated with self-protection of tumor cells. Such surface markers are specifically targeted to guide a cell-based cancer treatment, and especially hypoxia resistant NK cells and radiotherapeutics directly to the cancer stem cell. In addition, immune suppression can be counteracted using various inhibitors, while immune response may be further augmented using certain immune stimulatory agents.
