Leukemic stem cells (LSCs) and stemness signatures contribute to minimal residual disease in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which is associated with an increased risk of relapse. The presence of LSCs predicts treatment success and, therefore, eliminating LSCs has been proposed as a promising strategy to avoid relapses.
