Nobel Prize in Chemistry highlights how our bodies can repair our fragile DNA - and provides the basis for cancer treatments
This led to the development of imatinib/
Gleevec
, which dramatically increased the length of time patients with CML can survive with the disease: http://genetics.thetech.org/ask/ask298 Unfortunately, CLL researchers trying to achieve the same kind of breakthrough, have been disappointed to find that

If we don’t talk about value, cancer drugs will become terminal for health systems
[i]"In 2013, for example, group of experts in chronic myeloid leukemia described how the price of imatinib (
Gleevec
) increased three-fold over a decade.

April Hematology Times: "How vitamin D fights lymphoma" and "Low doses of imatinib promote hematopoiesis"
Imatinib may be better known under its marketing name
Gleevec
. It's a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that changed Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML) from being a terminal disease into one that could be controlled via maintenance therapy with this drug. Neil Photo: Peace garden in a nearby town.

Chemo makes resistant cancer stem cells???
In CML the chosen therapy of Imatinib aka
Gleevec
still produces resistant cancer. Curiously to both "mammary carcinoma" and Imatinib relapsed CML patients, Dasatinib, a Src tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has shown efficacy.

The future for CLL?
There has even been talk that we may have achieved the breakthrough that Imatinib (perhaps better know as
Gleevec
) was for a sister leukaemia to CLL - CML or Chronic Myelogenous Leukaemia, with some of the new maintenance drugs such as Ibrutinib (Imbruvica).

Imbruvica is on track to be a top seller for J&J and Pharmacyclics for years to come
Many are familiar to us; Imbruvica of course and Revlimid (Lenalidomide), Rituxan (Rituximab/Mabthera) and perhaps
Gleevec
(Imatinib), the drug that did for CML what we are still looking for with CLL.
