Breast cancer trials 'failing to save younger patients'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-22727878A lack of clinical trials aimed at younger breast cancer patients could be partly to blame for longer-term survival problems, experts believe.
The study, funded by Cancer Research UK and the Wessex Cancer Trust, analysed nearly 3,000 women under 40 in the UK with diagnosed breast cancer.
It found a rapid rise in relapse after five years in younger patients with a certain type of the cancer.
This contrasts with what normally happens with the disease.
