New treatment in the UK 'wiped out breast cancer'
A new treatment for breast cancer has wiped out breast cancer in patients in the UK in eleven days.
Researchers in Manchester found combining the drugs Tyverb and Hercaptin dramatically shrank tumours and in some cases eliminated them.
It's hoped the combination could stop women with aggressive breast cancer having chemotherapy.
Dr Aine McCarthy from Cancer Research UK has told Sky News it's an exciting discovery.
"In the trial, the group of women that got both drugs were numbered at 66. Out of these 66 - in seven patients there was a complete remission which means their tumours were gone," she said.
