It can be used when discussing advancements or significant progress in a particular field or area of research.
Example: "The scientists announced a further breakthrough in cancer research that could lead to new treatment options."
Alternatives: "an additional breakthrough" or "a subsequent breakthrough."
'We now have combination therapy - that is, interferon combined with an oral drug called ribavirin - that has doubled the cure rate to 40 to 50 per cent.'
