A potential new therapy for chemotherapy-resistant breast cancers has been discovered by Irish scientists.

The study, led by researchers at the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland (RCSI) University of Medicine and Health Sciences, shows that they have discovered a molecule that can kill cells of a hard-to-treat subtype of breast cancer, which could lead to a new therapy.
