Abstract
This protocol describes the step-by-step process for culturing SiHa cervical cancer cell lines and enriching cancer stem-like cells (cervospheres) using a non-adherent 3D culture system. The procedure includes preparation of media, culture conditions, tumorsphere formation, and passaging. This method facilitates the study of cervical cancer stem cell (CSC)-like properties in vitro.
