Breast cancer: Test means fewer women will need chemotherapy

About 70% of women with the
most common form of early stage
breast cancer can be spared the
"agony of chemotherapy",
researchers say. It follows trials of a genetic test that
analyses the danger of a tumour. Cancer doctors said the findings
would change practice in UK clinics
on Monday, and meant women in this
group could be treated safely with
just surgery and hormone therapy. Charities said the news, affecting
3,000 UK women a year, was
"wonderful". Chemotherapy is often used after
surgery to reduce the chance of
breast cancer spreading or coming
back.
