Hi Yoli,

Technically speaking, chemotherapy is drug therapy used to treat 
cancer so yes Gleevec is a drug so it's chemotherapy.  People often 
look at the word "chemotherapy" to mean intravenous therapy but 
essentially all the word "chemo" means is "chemical" or "drug" which 
of course Gleevec is.  

Take care,
Tracey
