We consider Drell-Yan process in the threshold region z{yields}1 where large logarithms appear due to soft-gluon radiations. We present a soft-collinear effective theory approach to resum these Sudakov-type logarithms following an earlier treatment of deep-inelastic scattering, and the result is consistent with that obtained through a standard perturbative QCD factorization.
