Charities have welcomed the "outstanding" results of a clinical trial which shows that a drug for a type of incurable breast cancer delays the disease getting worse.

Judi Dench, Dominic West and Ed Sheeran are among the stars to auction off personal drawings to raise money for breast cancer.

Scientists have moved a step closer to being able to predict the likelihood that very early tumours will develop into full-blown breast cancer, according to new research.

A protein which helps aggressive breast tumours spread the disease through the body using non-cancerous cells has been identified by researchers.
