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 PPARy 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 re lapse. |
