Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining imatinib mesylate and chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of imatinib mesylate plus cytarabine in treating patients who have newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia.
