...anyhow. Glivec is effective enough that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved it in record time two weeks ago?even as researchers announced that it also works against a rare form of stomach cancer. The drug doesn't help everyone, and it can have side effects, including nausea, muscle cramps and skin rash. Moreover, nobody is claiming that it actually cures cancer. Patients may have to continue taking the drug, probably for the rest of their lives, and unless Glivec is used in combination with some other drugs, it is likely their cancer will come back...
...Alfred Papai, 37, admitting illness is unthinkable: Who, then, would support his wife and child back home? But already, nausea, headaches, dizziness, skin rashes and vomiting are part of his daily routine. Ape, as Alfred's friends call him, works in a processing unit like Femmy's. He has difficulty just holding a fork or spoon in his hands, which tremble as he stretches them out in front of his taut, muscular frame. His wife, who lives with their daughter on the island of Sangir, north of Manado, has asked him to find other work, but the money...
...Angeles cooperative, three-quarters of whom have AIDS. The rest suffer from cancer, multiple sclerosis or other diseases, and all have marijuana prescriptions fromm licensed physicians.

But researchers from Novartis and the Oregon Health Sciences University reported in the New England Journal of Medicine last month that 51 of 53 patients who had received the highest dose of the drug had gone into remission with only mild side effects--a little nausea, swelling and diarrhea. In seven of those cases, even the genetic abnormalities known to cause this cancer seemed to have disappeared. Doctors are testing Gleevec on an unusual stomach cancer that is triggered by similar molecular defects...
...fusion inhibitors include compounds called T-20 and T-1249. The first compound, T-20, appears to be at the head of the class, so to speak; researchers report low toxicity among test cases, and relatively mild side effects like soreness and inflammation at the injection site, dizziness and nausea. For the needle-phobic, T-20 may cause a few problems - patients are required to inject themselves twice a day. But for most, even multiple injections are preferable to the incessant pill-counting and precise timing required by current drug regimens. Scientists are also optimistic about the second, more advanced...
