Ground-breaking research into breast cancer is taking place in Essex.

Scientists funded by the Helen Rollason Heal Cancer Charity are looking at ways of stopping breast cancer cells from moving into other parts of the body.

The Chelmsford-based charity has a lab at the Anglia Ruskin University, which attracts scientists from all over the world.

The scientists are looking for early signs the cells will move and eventually this work could lead to new treatment being developed to block cells moving.
