Thumbs up Of mice and humans

I'd wager that if any of us actually had the choice, it would be!

As I've said elsewhere before, there are many studies done on mice, etc. in regard to breast cancer, but how many of those studies used mice who had undergone surgery and conventional chemotherapies/radiation prior to being evaluated for new treatments? Doesn't it seem logical that promising results in mice end up being lost because they don't pan out in humans who have been put through toxic therapies and have lost some of their natural immune system defences?
