Killing cancer cells in mice is apparently pretty easy. I’ve seen a dozen different substances that killed cancer like gangbusters in mice but have moderate to poor usefulness in humans.

Conversely, there are probably many things that will kill human cancer cells, which we won't find out about because they are ineffective against mouse cancers.

A miracle medicine that never sees the light of day because the stupid mouse died.
