A drug to treat hot flushes slows breast cancer when used with anti-oestrogen treatment, says a team @CRUKCamCentre.
3 in 4 breast cancers are ER-positive and these women are usually offered anti-oestrogens, which can bring on menopause-like symptoms.
This new Cambridge-led trial showed that a drug mimicking progesterone can help manage these symptoms and has anti-cancer properties.

Following the heartbreaking death of our founder Jo Taylor, in early November, METUPUK has faced one of its most difficult decisions, appointing a new Chair to lead us forward. This appointment has been made in consultation with Jo’s family, ensuring her legacy remains at the heart of everything we do.
We’re proud to share that Laura Ashurst, a dedicated volunteer since 2021 and Trustee since March 2025, has accepted the role of Chair. This moment carries deep emotion, but also hope for the future of our mission.
As we step into 2026, Jo’s voice and vision will continue to inspire us. Please join us in welcoming Laura to the helm.
We are METUPUK. We stand together.
