WHAT IMATINIB IS USED
FOR
Imatinib is used to treat adults and
children/adolescents who have
chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML)
and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
with Philadelphia chromosome
positive (Ph-positive ALL).
CML and ALL are types of
leukaemia in which an abnormal
chromosome produces an enzyme
that leads to uncontrolled growth of
white blood cells. Imatinib kills the
abnormal cells while leaving normal
cells alone.
Imatinib is also used to treat adults
for:
•
myelodysplastic /
myeloproliferative diseases
(MDS/MPD).
These are a group of blood diseases
in which some blood cells start
growing out of control.
•
Hypereosinophilic syndrome
(HES) and or chronic
eosinophilic leukaemia (CEL).
These are blood diseases in which
some blood cells, named
"eosinophils", start growing out of
control.
•
dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans
(DFSP).
DFSP is a cancer of the tissue
beneath the skin in which some cells
start growing out of control.
Imatinib works by slowing the
growth of abnormal cells. Imatin
