[I'm skeptical as always, anyway...]

Take a look at the Figure 2 of https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/19490976.2025.2... It's a live mouse, they inject a tiny amount of cancer cells, wait line a week until they replicate and fro to 200mm3[1], and then inject the bacteria and wait like another week, and the cancer dissapears. All of this while the mouse is alive.

"mouse model" is standard name. It means that is somewhat a model of a human.

[1] Cubic units are too hart to visualize, if it were a perfect sphere, the diameter would be 7mm ~= 1/4 inch.
