Breakthrough: New Drug Treatment for Cancer Could Save Thousands

A new drug treatment for cancer has produced "highly promising results" in preliminary trials, according to new research published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine.

The new cancer drug, called Olaparib, was given to 19 patients with inherited forms of advanced breast cancer, ovarian cancer and prostate cancer caused by mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes.
