A groundbreaking immunotherapy drug combination has emerged from British-led research, offering hope to women battling aggressive breast cancer. Clinical trials indicate that this three-drug therapy significantly extends cancer-free survival and delays the need for harsh chemotherapy. The research, released just moments ago, has researchers optimistic that this treatment could become the new standard of care for suitable patients. Dany Bell, Strategic Advisor at Macmillan Cancer Support, emphasized the importance of this breakthrough, stating, "We know that breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the UK, accounting for about 15% of all new cancers."
