Breast cancer trials 'failing to save younger patients'

Summary:

A lack of clinical trials aimed at younger breast cancer patients could be partly to blame for longer-term survival problems, experts believe. The study, funded by Cancer Research UK and the Wessex Cancer Trust, analysed nearly 3,000 women under 40 in the UK with diagnosed breast cancer. It found a rapid rise in relapse after five years in younger patients with a certain type of the cancer. Breast cancer is mostly diagnosed in post-menopausal women, although those with a diagnosis under 40 represent fewer than 5% of all breast cancers treated in the UK.

 

 

Opinion:

I think the breast cancer is the most cause of kills in woman's. In my opinion, doctors and experts must research to cure this disease definitely. But especially the breast cancer in young womens because they are the future of the world and they can be an example to other womens to survive front cancers. Unfortunately, this study is bad because It says that the young womens with cancer rise relapse after five years. This type of cancer in the under 40 years old represents under 5% of all cases, but this isn't an excuse to not study the breast cancer in young women. This is a terrible problem to the young and old womens, we must help them. I have read this news on BBC news.

 

Words I have learnt:

 

- Breast cancer: cáncer de mama.

 

- Fewer: menys.
