...patients in the U.S. each year. In the drug's very first test, every patient went into remission. In the most recent results, 30% showed no sign of the chromosomal damage that marks the disease and appeared to have been cured. "This drug is amazing," says Richard Stone, an oncologist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute who has been testing Glivec (also known as an STI, for signal transduction inhibitor).

...treatments will fail clinical trials. But doctors who treat the disease are experiencing a surge of optimism the likes of which they have never seen. "It’s no longer spin the wheel, let’s try this drug, maybe it will work," says Henry Friedman, a neuro-oncologist at Duke University Medical Center.
