i would say that gleevec is diferent chemotherapy. it is a smart chemo. the conventional chemo destroys all cell lines in the body, the cancerous and the healthy, and gleevec is designed to block and kill only canver cells. giora ----- Original Message ----- From: traceyincanada To: CML@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2005 2:56 AM Subject: [CML] Re: Chemotherapy--Yoli 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 -- In CML@yahoogroups.com, Yoli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >  Is Gleevec considered chemotheraphy?  Thank you for your responses.  Yolanda. > > New!
