    > the results showed that mice remained tumor-free for over 200 days after treatment.

    https://www.pnas.org/doi/suppl/10.1073/pnas.2523039122/suppl... See page 25

    In mice, N=12.

    1 survived 200 days without cancer and was euthanized for 'ocular ulcers'.

    5 survived 50-150 days, without cancer but were euthanized for other health problems

    6 survived 50-150 days, and still had a smaller tumor and were euthanized for other health problems

    My take away: Interesting, but the press article is overselling the result by a lot.
