Possible breast cancer vaccine has been developed. So far only tested on mice, but in the tests all mice given the vaccine did not develop breast cancer.
Scientists in America from the Cleveland Clinic Learner Research Institute have published their research in Nature Medicine. They are now planning human trials.
There is obviously still a lot of work to be done but the scientists are very optimistic that they can reproduce the results seen in mice in humans. Maybe one day all women will receive a vaccine that will eradicate breast cancer forever.
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in the UK and over 45,500 women are struck down with the disease each year.
