Unfortunately, breast cancer is now the most common cancer in the UK and almost 46,000 new cases are diagnosed every year. The good news is that due to improved detection and new treatments, the number of women beating breast cancer is increasing each year. However, breast cancer patients often have to take anti-cancer drugs for up to five years. Research at the Univesity of Dundee has been undertaken to shed light on the reason for taking these drugs for so long. You can find out more about this from local scientist Colin McCowan in a free public lecture to be held at the Sensation science centre in Dundee. It promises to be an informative talk that will provoke lots questions from the audience!Everyone is welcome to this free event at the Sensation’s award-winning Infusion Cafe, Greenmarket, Dundee for a 6pm start on Wednesday September 9th 2009.
Doors open at 5:30pm, so get there early in order to get yourself a seat and a nice cup of hot tea or coffee and a snack.
