Danish scientists make cancer breakthrough

It has to go through all the endless rounds of trials.

Just because something is promising in mice doesn't mean it will ever live up to its promise. Every few years, you hear about this or that miracle that is "promising in mice" but it never escapes the trial phase because something is wrong with it in humans.

YES! SUGAR WILL SAVE US!
It's about time people came around.

Sounds like world war z....only way to save you is to inject you with something deadly...

Wouldn't this make every paper?

What's your point? They shouldn't try? Can you please list a few cancer cures that were successful in mice however not successful in human trials, thanks.

100% of them otherwise we would have a cure right?
We hear about cures on a daily basis for funding reasons. Many treatments have come out of mice but no a shingle cure otherwise this thread would not exist.

Not for cancer, but animal research has given us successful treatments and cures that worked on animal firsts and then humans, for example: penicillin, blood transfusions, TB, macular degeneration, asthma, meningitis, kidney transplants, breast cancer, Parkinsons and insulin.

This new cancer research has worked in mice, so I agree with you: they should carry on with their work instead of just giving up like some suggest. It may or may not work, we just have to wait and see.

Over 90% of cancer drugs that enter Phase 1 trials never get FDA approval to be marketed adrclinresearch.com... Most drugs fail. Take ipilimumab, it didn't cause a number of side-effects in mice, primates, and all the other non-humans that it was tested on before the trials in humans began. But some of them killed humans www.medscape.com... www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov... Aspirin is safe for pregnant women but causes birth defects in guinea pigs and other non-humans. This kind of research is of little real value. So much for replacement, reduction, and refinement!
