'Cure' for Cancer of Breast
Posted on: Thursday, 14 April 2005, 06:00 CDT
SCIENTISTS have developed a potential cure for breast cancer which could save the lives of thousands of women every year.
And it could provide a vaccine for those at risk of hereditary cancer - which accounts for five per cent of cancer deaths each year.
The non-toxic drug will be available in two or three years if safety trials on humans are successful.
Two separate groups in Sheffield and London revealed their laboratory research yesterday.
Dr Helen Bryant, from Sheffield University, said: "It is a significant breakthrough which targets and kills genetically defective tumour cells without harming other healthy cells in the body."
Cancer Research said: "It is one of the most exciting developments in treatment for years."
