Breast Cancer Breakthrough

There's new hope for survivors of breast cancer in the Hunter.

A vaccine which helps to stop recurrences of the disease could be out within years.

Trials of the drug have found it cuts the rate of cancer returning by almost half within 15 years.

The injection uses the body's own immune system to fight off the disease.

The new drug could be on the market within 5-years.
