New clinical guidelines have been launched for the treatment of advanced breast cancer.
It coincides with Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day, which is today.
Breast Cancer Foundation NZ chief executive Ah-Leen Rayner says around 400 Kiwis are diagnosed with advanced breast cancer every year.
She says their research shows Kiwi women are dying from it twice as fast as those in comparable countries.
Rayner says these guidelines provide the best possible treatment that can extend their lives, no matter where they live.
