Worldwide, 1.6 million new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed each year, with over half a million deaths.

40 years ago in the UK, the five year survival rate following diagnosis was 50%. Today that figure is 80% thanks to advances in treatment and screening.
One of these advances is Herceptin, a breast cancer drug that reduces the chance of the cancer returning by over a third.
