British scientists have solved one of the secrets behind how cancer invades the body. The breakthrough, carried out at Manchester University, could help pave the way for a generation of drugs that would halt up to 90 per cent of cancers in their tracks.
Such drugs could be particularly effective against breast and lung tumors - two of the biggest killers.
More than 150,000 Britons a year are killed by cancer, and breast and lung tumors account for almost a third of those deaths.
