Just in case you haven't heard, if this is really a breakthrough, then there would be much gratefulness around the world, as well as Nobels in the offing:

Scientists 'close to breast cancer cure' after British researchers find a way to stop tumours growing

Part of this:

Scientists have previously focused on how to prevent tumours from forming, but the new research has found key molecules called microRNAs which the cancer manipulates to spread around the body.

Breast cancer cells 'switch off' these molecules, allowing the cancer to spread unchecked to other parts of the body.

This spread is responsible for 90 per cent of deaths from breast cancer and the team which made the breakthrough is working on a drug to stop this fatal process.

One of the scientists, Dr Justin Stebbing, senior lecturer and consultant medical oncologist at Imperial College, London, said: 'This is a potential cure for breast cancer. There are no drugs as yet but they should be available in a couple of years.

'This is a step on the way to it. It helps us understand the way breast cancer cells grow and divide. If we understand this, we understand how to stop it.'

This would be wonderful news for everyone. I guess it's obvious I enjoy the loveliness of women, and this would be good for all women -- and their families. There is no joking about it, breast cancer is a heartbreaking scourge. Stopping it would truly be a spectacular, wonderful advance.

Let's hope.
