Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Imatinib is useful in blood cancer. But it is not useful in all blood cancer. It is very effective in chronic myeloid leukemia. But its not effective in acute leukemia. Moreover it can control the disease. It can not cure the cancer.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
