Question

Medical researchers are excited about a new cancer treatment that destroys tumors by cutting off their blood supply. To date, the treatment has been tried only on mice, but in mice it has been nearly 100% effective in eradicating tumors and appears to
have no side effects. What should we conclude about these studies and their ability to provide evidence of the effectiveness of the new treatment in treating cancer in humans?
The studies suffer from lack of realism and generalizability.
The studies are convincing, assuming that proper randomization and control were used.
The studies are convincing, assuming the results have been replicated in a large number of mice.
The studies display a high statistical significance, so there is nearly 100% certainty that the treatment will work in humans.
