10 years ago today, Gleevec was approved as a first line treatment for leukemia. What a revolutionary change that was! Targeted therapies have continued to be explored, allowing cancer to be attacked without significant toxicities to patients. Imagine how you would feel if you finally had HOPE again after a cancer diagnosis. That is what Gleevec did for so many!
