Scientists at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) have identified a naturally occurring bacterium from the intestines of Japanese tree frogs (Dryophytes japonicus) that demonstrated remarkable anticancer activity in mice. The findings, published in Gut Microbes, introduce a new approach to cancer treatment that uses living bacteria to directly target tumors rather than simply altering the gut microbiome.

The FDA has plenty of issues but saying 'no, you can't test things on humans without first testing them on non-human animals,' isn't for the sake of the companies. There are a lot of 'potential cures' for which we never want human trials, because rodent trials reveal how much cancer they cause rather than cure.
