Hi I just received a forwarded mail from one of my friends saying "'Imitinef Mercilet' is a medicine which cures blood cancer. Its available free of cost at "Adyar Cancer Institute in Chennai". Please advice, is this a true information or just a false one. Thanks
Imitinef Mercilet email sent to you contains information about the medicinal properties of a compound which has been used to treat a particular type of blood cancer called CML. There are so many drug available to treat blood cancer and this is one among them. It does not mean that this medicine will cure every patient of blood cancer and also in those with CML, it can show variable responses.
The free availability of the medicine is probably a part of research trial that was going on in the hospital. This email might have been publicized by a patient or relative to send a message to fellow patients guiding them to participate in the trial. As cancer treatment is not affordable by many, this kind of publicity might help those who are unable to seek treatment due to medical costs.
However, the information must be verified by contacting the hospital as it can also be a part of mischief by some people and no cancer institute will launch such propaganda and promise cure.
