Combination of an anti-cancer agent such as a tyrosinekinase inhibitor and a STAT5 antagonist, preferably a thiazolidinedione, for eliminating hematologic cancer stem cells in vivo and for preventing hematologic cancer relapse
Abstract:
Provided are methods for eliminating hematologic cancer stem cells in vivo, and thus preventing cancer relapse. The methods comprise a Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 5 (STAT5) antagonist (e.g., a PPARγ agonist) after the patient has had ana initial course of treatment with an anti-cancer agent (e.g., a TKI), to eliminate residual cancer stem cells which cause relapse.
