CML news from Medscape

[Guest guest]

More news from Medscape:

I want to start out with the really good news, which I know you all know, but a

picture is worth a thousand words, how imatinib has really changed the face of

CML so dramatically. In the years that I have been doing leukemia, this is

clearly the most dramatic drug to come along. This is The University of Texas

M. D. Cancer Center (MDACC) data looking at survival by decade. You can

see the 95% survival curve going out to 6 years now, and obviously the big

difference there was the introduction of imatinib, which has completely changed

the face of this disease.

Lottie (and everyone): This is such an excellent article! It gives

such clear information. I am proud to say that the author is from

Fred Hutch up here in Seattle, too. I am blessed to live in a

location where these wonderful minds are nearby and accessible to

me. Thank you, Lottie, though, for doing the research and once

again, finding a great article that helps and builds the rest of us

up. You are marvelous!! Big Hug from me, Vicki PS Hope that Cajun

party was great and that your birthday was exceptionally wonderful.

My can of pathetic gumbo soup didn't measure up, but was reasonably

tasty and I lifted my spoon to you as I ate it. I have another can

for my supper tonight!
