Science Daily (Oct. 3, 2007) — In people with
chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), the drug Imatinib
has been shown to drive cancer into remission, but
the disease often returns when treatment is stopped.
New research by UC Irvine scientists indicates that Imatinib
could cure CML under certain circumstances if it is taken over
a long enough period of time.
