What it does not prove

  • This was not a clinical trial in living subjects, so it cannot establish whether rapamycin prevents breast cancer in humans or provides clinical benefit.
  • The sample size was not reported, preventing assessment of statistical power or generalizability.
  • The specific effect sizes were not reported, limiting ability to judge the magnitude of the reduction in malignant markers or aberrant cells.
