Professor Arnold Hill:

One of the key things we want to achieve is to allow people to get back to a normal life and to ensure that we are no longer intruding into their health. Getting back to living normally is part of beating breast cancer and that is very much what we aspire to. When treatment is over, therefore, there must be appropriate monitoring. We are seeing much more of that with survival increasing. We now have people who have been survivors for ten and 15 years, and things are improving in that regard. Our main focus, then, is on getting people back to living a normal life.
