Cancer Drug Can Cause Heart Failure

One study recently published in the journal Nature Medicine came up with the suggestion that an effective cancer drug, Gleevec can cause severe heart damage.

This is not surprising. You try to kill one culprit in the body only to cause another perhaps even more evil culprit.

Is it really worth risking it?

Although the above is a small study, it is noteworthy and serves as a warning.
