imatinib history

Eithne01, The treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has changed significantly since the late 1990s, with the development and subsequent approval by the Food and Drug Administration of imatinib (in 2001), the first of a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which target the specific abnormality that causes CML. Before that time, patients were treated with other therapy, including interferon and bone marrow transplant, and had very poor outcomes.

It is possible that the white blood cell count would normalize after 2 weeks of taking Imatinib (Gleevec). Most responses to Imatinib are rapid since it targets the molecular pathogenetic event in CML. You may seek a second opinion if that will give you a peace of mind. Good luck.

lots of people die all the time because they reject traditional treatments and go with 'natural' things instead I would think of using alternatives along with regular treatments, but not in place of them. Some alternative things might have some benefit. Isn't homeopathy the approach where you dilute some substance down to one part per billion or so, and then expect it to actually have some curing power?

Are you currently on any medication like imatinib? The neutropenia can be due to your current medication. You can ask your hematologist for G-CSF injection if you have persistent neutropenia. Patients with CML are immunocompromised and can easily acquire infections. Neutropenia also puts a patient in an immunocompromised state. For now, it is very important to prevent acquiring any infection. You should avoid crowded places and persons with ongoing infection. Good luck.

Hi. Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) is a blood disorder caused by an acquired genetic defect in the pleripotent stem cell. It has several phases: indolent chronic or stable phase, aggressive or advanced phase, and accelerated and blastic phase. The transition between phases may take years (on the average, 4 to 6 years from the stable phase to aggressive phase).

Average survival rates are generalizations, not applicable to a particular patient. The prognosis is relatively good. Newer techniques are being tried, including imatinib and stem cell transplantation. All the best, and God Bless!

The traditional way was long application forms, pages and pages of medical history, and instead of contacting individual insurances one by one, this is all in one place with one single phone number you can call for help, so in the meantime they will help us sign up.

TY for the reply. Yes I was told and am thinking that its parasitc or allergy. I went to aruba in June but that wouldn't have an affect on me now, would it?

I am just being curious here but has any one in recorded history ever gotten HIV from "fingering" or a handjob. It just seems that a lot of us have been exposed to this level. Around the hand most people have little scrapes or loose skin generally due to the norms of life either as part of what we do at work or through normal everyday household chores and thsu the concern for most of us. Would anybody on this forum know or have heard of transmission via these exual activities.

how can that make history i am still dealing with the pain, twice as much! what do i do! i called insurance i want 2nd opinion at shands ganesville fl they are the best i just dont know, rather to thro my self at the er or how to go! you know what i mean? thanks for replying any thing you can think of?

Therapy with corticosteroids is used for the treatment of most and additional therapy is available and dependent upon the type of HS. Newer medicines such as imatinib and mepolizumab are said to be promising. So, should your son have HS, there is reason to be optimistic regarding a positive response to currently available therapy. You should request, of his doctor, an additional explanation for the tentative diagnosis of pre-hypertension. Good luck.

The tracker was designed to allow you to keep the history of your data, so we need to investigate this further. Can you tell us which tracker is affected, what values were lost (was it mood, weight, journals, symptoms, etc), and what date range is affected? Since you don't see the data anymore, it might be difficult, but if you have a guess, that would certainly help.

t remember if I have asked this before so here I go again, on my last mri reports both of them say in the history section...history of ms. Is that a diagnosis? Also on my c-spine it says bilateral c-5 neural foraminal stenosis secondary to zygapophyseal joint hypertrophy and posterior osteophyte formation. Could someone tell me what that means in english.

I have a family history of cancer that didn't occur until recently. My Mother was diagnosed with stage 2 Tongue and Throat Cancer at the end of 2005. Soon after my Father was diagnosed with Stage 4 Small Cell Lung Cancer at the beginning of 2006 and passed away in April of the same year. My Mother is in remission now Thank God. My Uncle (Father's Brother) diagnosed with Stage 4 Small Cell Lung Cancer and passed away one day before the election.
