Gleevec isn't as revolutionary new cancer drug as it is sub-specific for cancer type where one gene went wrong. Definitely it is a very potent drug for CML, but media and street will *overdue* as they usually do.

The point is that specific and selective targeting is way to treat cancer, however and unfortunately very few cancer type have this characteristic.
