This oral targeted cancer therapy works by inhibiting specific tyrosine kinase enzymes, particularly BCR-ABL, the abnormal protein produced by the Philadelphia chromosome in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). It was a breakthrough in cancer treatment and is also used for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and other cancers driven by specific kinase mutations. It transformed CML from a frequently fatal disease to one often managed long-term.
