It is important to note that this is early research conducted in labs in petri dishes (in vitro) and/or on mice (in vivo) for breast cancer. It has not yet been tested on humans. Often media headlines can lead one to believe that new treatments are available in their early phases of research before they have been through the rigorous testing, which can takes years.
