Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) accounts for about 15 percent of all cases of adult leukemia. The majority of CML cases have cells containing the abnormal Philadelphia chromosome. A tyrosine kinase inhibitor, TasignaR works against cancerous cells by interfering with cell communication and growth. _____ From: groups (DOT) <mailto:%40> com [mailto:groups (DOT) <mailto:%40> com] On Behalf Of Tracey Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 10:19 AM groups (DOT) <mailto:%40> com Subject: [ ] Re: Tasigna Question Hi Zavie, I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for but I found these references: http://www.cancerce <http://www.cancerce <http://www.cancercenter.com/glossary/tasigna.cfm> nter.com/glossary/tasigna.cfm> nter.com/glossary/tasigna.cfm That's a page from Cancer Treatment Centers of America that clearly refers to Tasigna as oral chemotherapy.
