WHAT GLIVEC IS USED FOR
•
Glivec is used to treat adults and children who have chronic myeloid
leukaemia (CML) and adults with 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. Glivec kills the abnormal
cells while leaving normal cells alone.
Glivec 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.
•
SYSTEMIC MASTOCYTOSIS (SM).
It is a cancer in which certain blood cells, called “mast” cells,
grow 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.
•
GASTRO-INTESTINAL STROMAL TUMOURS (GIST).
