"Whenever reading a headline that a new treatment has been found that kills cancer cells in a petri dish, keep in mind that so does a handgun."

It has been posted recently, but I can't find the discussion. IIRC the main points were:

* They tested this in mice, that is better than a petri dish, but still needs a lot of testing before it is consider safe for humans and useful for humans.

* It's a new chemotherapy drug, if successful it would raise the number remissions of but nothing guaranties a 100% sure cure as the title implies.
