Breast cancer test could save women from needless chemo
A breast cancer test that could spare women unnecessary pain should be made available on the NHS, a leading surgeon said today.
Professor Kefah Mokbel said it could save victims of the disease from undergoing needless chemotherapy, which can lead to baldness and infertility.
The test determines whether such treatment would be effective or not, before sufferers embark on it. Professor Mokbel said thousands of women undergo chemotherapy every year and for many of them it will have no positive effects.
The consultant breast surgeon at St George's Hospital in Tooting and the Princess Grace Hospital in St John's Wood said: "There are many women who are borderline cases for the treatment, where they are told chemotherapy could work for them but that it may not be totally necessary. For many of them, it will be completely unnecessary and so they undergo all the negative effects, like hair loss and a weakened immune system, for no reason."
