These cells are thought to be responsible for relapse and are termed leukemiastemcells (LSCs).
2
Leukemia progression and relapse is fueled by leukemiastemcells (LSC) that are resistant to current treatments.
3
Specific identification of leukemiastemcells and their discrimination from normal hematopoietic stem cells would greatly contribute to risk stratification and could predict possible relapses.
