Research in the North West, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire

Breast cancer research that’s happening in the North West, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire because you dared to wear it pink:

Dr Ingunn Holen at the University of Sheffield: How do we find the most effective treatment combinations?

Breast cancer patients may soon benefit from a new combination of treatments that can stop tumours from growing.

During treatment a breast cancer patient may receive a combination of several different types of drugs, such as chemotherapy, to stop tumour growth. Patients with advanced cancer may also be given another treatment called a bisphosphonate to prevent bone loss.

Exciting new evidence has shown that giving chemotherapy followed by the bisphosphonate 24 hours later can stop breast tumours growing and spreading to other parts of the body and in some cases kills breast cancer cells, leading to a better chance of survival.
