critic Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 Guys, This is Fromm Google ------- The Adyar Cancer Institute is a real health facility located in the city of Chennai, India and, as its name implies, it indeed specializes in cancer treatment and research. The Adyar Cancer Institute has achieved great results in the treatment and research of cancer since its establishment in 1954. I contacted a spokesperson at the Adyar Cancer Institute to ask about the veracity of the message. He sent me the following reply: Only the Part of this message is true. The medicine Imitinef is available free for only qualified persons and not for all. It is free for those who have admitted in the hospital for treatment. 'Imitinef Mercilet' is apparently an alternative spelling of the drug Imatinib mesylate which is used in the treatment of some forms of leukemia along with other types of cancer. Imatinib, often referred to a "Gleevec", has proved to be an effective treatment for some forms of cancers. However, "blood cancer" is a generalized term for cancers that affect the blood, lymphatic system or bone marrow. The three types of blood cancer are listed as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. These three malignancies require quite different kinds of treatments. While drugs (including Imatinib), along with other treatments such as radiation can help to slow or even stop the progress of these cancers, there is currently no single drug treatment that can be said to actually cure all such cancers. Moreover, it should be noted that Imatinib is available for cancer patients in many different health facilities around the world, not just the Adyar Cancer Institute. Thus, although there are some elements of truth to this message, it is also potentially misleading and contains inaccurate information. ---- I am a doctor by profession. Just want to let you know few things- Appreciate ur effort to help others. But also just look into the truth of it. There is no cure for cancer till date from medications. It all depends on stage of cancer. Blood cancer is a common man term, medically u have different varieties of blood cancer and all the treatments are not same. Just want to create some awareness. Now a days seeing a lot of these stuff from whatsapp where if you just google it once u will know the truth. My only intention is not to create false hope. By the way accidentally found this thread. Some years back used to follow db. Now a days occasional guest viewer.
