Scientists hail 'game-changer for breast cancer research'

The discovery would help scientists to test the most appropriate drugs on living tissue for the treatment and prevention of breast cancer, said an expert.

Scientists say they have made a potentially “game-changing” breakthrough in breast cancer research after discovering how to preserve breast tissue outside the body for at least a week.

The study found tissue could be preserved in a special gel solution, which will help scientists to identify the most effective drug treatments for patients.
