Breakthrough Breast Cancer comment on the story from the British Journal of Cancer, about the link between the P53 gene and breast cancer survival. Research from the University of Dundee.

Dr Caitlin Palframan, Policy Manager at Breakthrough Breast Cancer, said: "We know there is a connection between deprivation and breast cancer survival but we don't yet know all the reasons for this. The researchers suggest a genetic link between deprivation and survival, but a range of lifestyle, environmental and genetic factors are all likely to play a part.

Early detection of breast cancer is vital to increase the chance of successful treatment. That is why we encourage all women to be breast aware and attend screening when invited."
