Ten "critical" gaps in knowledge about the development of breast cancer must be addressed, say leading experts.
Finding out how breast cancer spreads and evades therapy is a key concern, they report in Breast Cancer Research.
Plugging the gaps in research would lead to improved clinical care for patients within five years, their review of evidence suggests.
Projections suggest 185,000 UK lives will be lost by 2030 at current progress rates, say cancer charities.
In their review of recent progress in research, more than 100 scientists, doctors and healthcare professionals looked at how limitations in knowledge of breast cancer are affecting the setting of priorities for the future.
