Study gives insight into breast cancer recurrence

Work by University of Manchester scientists has explored what allows some cases of Ductal Carcinoma in Situ , a non-invasive form of breast cancer, to resist treatment and come back, as well as identifying a potential new target to improve the effectiveness of radiotherapy. Around 5,000 cases of DCIS, a condition where cancerous cells are contained within the milk ducts of the breast, are diagnosed each year in the UK, with two thirds diagnosed through breast screening.
