Breast cancer drug is effective for treatment-resistant uterine cancer

Uterine cancer is the deadliest cancer of the female reproductive system. Currently, clinicians treat the disease by using a mix of surgery and chemotherapy. But not everyone responds to this line of treatment, and those who fail first-line therapies are often left without next steps. Research by the Yale School of Medicine (YSM) shows that a breast cancer drug could provide new options for people suffering from treatment-resistant uterine cancer.
