Abstract excerpt
Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (cALL) is the most frequent pediatric cancer. Refractory/relapsed cALL presents a survival rate of ∼45% and is still one of the leading causes of death by disease among children. Mechanisms, such as clonal competition and evolutionary adaptation, govern treatment resistance. However, the underlying clonal dynamics leading to multiple relapses and differentiating early (<36...
