A team of Welsh scientists are developing a treatment that could reverse the spread of breast cancer to other parts of the body.
Researchers at Cardiff University have developed a compound with the hope it will reverse the spread of malignant breast cancer to other vital organs - known as metastasis- which is responsible for the majority of deaths from the disease.
In trials on mice, the compound has shown a complete halt in the spread of metastatic tumours.
Around 12,000 breast cancer patients develop this form of the disease every year, often several years after initial diagnosis of a breast lump.
