Breast cancer avatar mice could help personalise treatment | Cancer Research UK

Our scientists at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute have developed avatar mice that could help personalise treatment for breast cancer. While breast cancer survival has doubled in the last 40 years, there are still some subtypes that are more aggressive and harder to treat. Our researchers hope that once these avatar mice are fully developed, they will lead to clinical trials that might test the best drug for each patient and help doctors decide between a range of more targeted treatments.
