Leukemia 

Leukemia is the term given to a diverse group of diseases characterized by rapid and unchecked proliferation of white blood cells. This family includes a variety of diseases of different cellular populations and therefore, presents different natural histories and progression rates. One of the chronic leukemias, CML, is characterized by a slow and controllable progression rate, but may also develop into a devastating disease. This disease is treatable with a drug called Imatinib. Its use and correct dosage are critical to gaining control of the disease. Oncotest – Advantest offers a test that both identifies the proliferating cells and assists in tailoring treatment.
