Breast cancer: a prevention trial

What’s this project about?

Each year more than 36,000 women aged over 50 are diagnosed with breast cancer.

Professor Jack Cuzick is coordinating a large clinical trial called the International Breast Cancer Intervention Study II (IBIS-II). The trial will find out whether the drug anastrozole can help prevent breast cancer in healthy post-menopausal women at increased risk of the disease.

The results could help prevent thousands of women from developing breast cancer in the future.

Watch the video to learn more about Professor Cuzick's work, and meet Trish, who's participating in the IBIS-II trial.
