I believe this guy is right. They should use more money and effort to determine how the cancer cells are able to growth in tissues that are not the tissue where they came from (metastases). If they could solve that situation perhaps cancer could be cured.

LOL - funny but true. The problem is not the research, it is that mainstream media pick it up, and patients read those articles and studies thinking it applies to humans.
There is a legitimate purpose - screening. If it works in rats, it might work in humans, and may be worth a human trial. If it doesn't work in rats, it can be dropped. It is the first step in a conversation with other researchers, and not meant to inform patients.
It is usually done with xenografts (human tissue) in mice or rats prone to cancer.
