Even when the disease is caught early, breast cancer recurrence is relatively commonplace—and for survivors, the prospect can be daunting.
A drug developed by Swiss pharmaceutical maker Novartis has now been shown to reduce this risk by a quarter in a large group of early-stage survivors, offering patients new hope.

Half the patients received ribociclib—marketed under the brand name Kisqali—as well as hormonal therapy, while the other half received only hormonal therapy. They continued for a treatment period of three years.
