Q: Gleevec or Glivec

I had to chuckle when I saw your subject line (confusing naming conventions
are not uncommon in the medical world). Yes, both names have been used for
this product, but Novartis (the developer) uses Glivec. There website about
the product:

Tnx Sharon, I have already found that, but I was hoping for an answer/a = comment that does not come
from Novartis. Tnx anyway!

I replied to you on news:sci.med If you told us which type of leukemia, I could point you to the
correct ACOR e-mail link. but since you haven't acor.orgacor.orgOpen ↗ (see e-mail lists) J

Can anyone tell me something about a product named Gleevec (it is used to treat leukemia) -
effects, side effects, results of treatment? TIA

Short term effects -- excelent. Side effects -- slight edema is the most prevalent. Results -- wait
ten years and ask again...

G has proven effective in a variety of applications and particularly in concert with other meds.

You might want to check www.robertsreview.com for latest interviews (audio, video, and
transcripts)with leading doc's and researchers on newest treatments, protocols, drugs, research
breakthroughs, and pain management. (I think they also offer special financial help to cancer
patients...along with lists of "top cancer treatment" hospitals/clinics.)

I check 'em once weekly at robertsreview.comrobertsreview.comOpen ↗

Hope this may be of some help to you.
