Prof Thomas Helleday - Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden

Prof Helleday talks to ecancer at the IMProving care And Knowledge through Translational research (IMPAKT) meeting in Brussels, May 2012, about novel therapies for triple negative breast cancer including the use of 6-mercaptopurine, previously not used in this group of patients.
