New drug shrinks even the most severe breast cancer tumours - Daily Mail 1st June 2008

A new breast cancer drug has been shown to shrink tumours in women with one of the most aggressive forms of the disease. One in four given the drug in a clinical trial saw their tumours reduce in size. A further one in four were told by doctors that their tumours had got no bigger. The women, who all had an advanced and aggressive form of breast cancer, had previously been given Herceptin but it had failed to slow their disease. However, when treated with a combination of Herceptin and new drug pertuzumab, some of the growths began to reduce in size.
