    DescriptionProfessor Gareth Evans, who led the study from Manchester University, said: 'If all these women took drugs to prevent breast cancer, that could prevent a quarter of breast cancer cases and potentially save the lives of 2,000 women a year. If young women at high risk were offered annual mammograms, that could save hundreds more a year.

    'It is particularly important for women under 50, who make up one in five cases of breast cancer.'
