Abstract
Tumor progression and resistance to treatment are often accompanied by the polarization of malignant cells towards a mesenchymal or poorly differentiated state. Such a transition generates an accrued vulnerability to the induction of ferroptosis, potentially paving the way to novel therapeutic strategies for targeting residual disease in patients with cancer.
