Cancer: Breakthrough treatments to target drug resistance The world's first drugs designed to stop cancer cells becoming resistant to treatment could be available within the next decade, scientists have said.
A £75m investment to develop the drugs has been announced by the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR).
Chief executive Prof Paul Workman said cancer's ability to adapt to drugs is the biggest challenge in treatment.
The new drugs could make cancer a "manageable" disease in the long term and "more often curable", he said. BBC News
