Men should be included in trials to find better treatments for breast cancer

(ECCO-the European CanCer Organisation) Professor Robert Mansel, Chair of the 11th European Breast Cancer Conference (EBCC-11) and Emeritus Professor of Surgery at Cardiff University School of Medicine, UK, has called for men to be included in trials to improve treatments for breast cancer. This follows new research presented at EBCC-11 on Friday that show that if women are pre-treated with targeted drugs to shrink tumours before surgery, they could avoid radical surgery.
