Breast cancer: Test means fewer women will need chemotherapy-2

Written by Fairchick Date
It saves lives, but side-effects of the
toxic drugs range from vomiting,
fatigue and infertility to permanent
nerve pain. In rare cases it can lead to heart
failure and leukaemia. This trial of 10,273 women analysed
cancers using a genetic test that is
already widely available, including on
the NHS. Currently, women who get a low
score on the test are told they do not
need chemo, those with a high score
are told they definitely do. But most women get an intermediate
result meaning they are unclear as to
what to do. Data presented at the world's biggest
meeting of cancer doctors and
scientists in Chicago shows these
women have the same survival rates
with or without chemo. The nine-year-survival-rate was
93.9% without chemotherapy and
93.8% with chemotherapy.
