Finding the tumor copycat: Therapy fails, patients don't

Nature Medicine 16, 974 (2010). doi:10.1038/nm0910-974

Authors: Lee M Ellis & Isaiah J Fidler

The complexity of human metastatic cancer is difficult to mimic in mouse models. As a consequence, seemingly successful studies in murine models do not translate into success in late phases of clinical trials, pouring money, time and people's hope down the drain. In 'Bedside to Bench', Isaiah Fidler and Lee Ellis discuss crucial parameters in cancer growth and therapy and emphasize the disparity between studies in humans and mice. In 'Bench to Bedside', Terry Van Dyke shows how pancreatic tumors developed de novo in the organ site in mice can explain therapy failure in people with cancer and serve as a model to test new drugs.
