The approval of Gleevec (imatinib) in 2001 changed the future for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). CML is now one of the most treatable forms of cancer. In some patients, however, their disease becomes resistant to the treatment. Listen to the story of how one patient, along with her oncologist, Dr. Hagop Kantarjian of the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, managed her CML.

Osteoporosis has long been a concern for any woman approaching her senior years, but until recent recent years there were few treatment options. Now that medical advances have opened up a broad array of treatment strategies, testing for osteoporosis — bone density testing — has become a greater imperative for women at risk. Join our panel of experts as they discuss this test and how it can help you.

People with osteoporosis are often unaware that they have the disease until they sustain a fracture, which can result from the slightest accident. For this reason, screening for osteoporosis is an important health precaution for many women at risk. Tune in as we discuss bone density testing and those people who should consider getting screened for this silent disease.
