A new type of breast cancer drug is  clearly superior to the old standard, tamoxifen, in many women  and should now be the first drug used to treat the cancer, U.S.  and British researchers said on Wednesday.

It&#39;s now well known that people who carry mutations in the BRCA 1 and 2 genes are prone to ovarian and breast cancer, but new findings show that these genes also increase risk of certain other cancers as well.

TORONTO - A standard treatment used to prevent the recurrence of breast cancer should be replaced by a newer drug, according to a study released Wednesday.

The causes of breast cancer are still being researched, although it is known the a woman&#39;s lifetime exposure to estrogen and her age at the time of her first childbirth play an important role.

In women who&#39;ve been treated for breast cancer, use of the drug tamoxifen can help prevent recurrence of the disease. Now, new research indicates that the
