The researchers have purified, for the first time, the protein produced by the breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA2 and used it to study the oncogene's role in DNA repair.

The discovery could result in more reliable prognoses and better treatment strategies for patients.

Developing drugs to block POLQ could increase survival and stop the cancer coming back, according to research published in OncoTarget.

They appear to show that women who say they used such products in the past are more likely to have breast cancer.
