I would guess 7 would not constitute the entire sample. Instead, they probably started with a larger group, and out of this group they had to find the cancerous cells. Maybe they were given 100 cell samples, and were able to correctly detect that only 7 of these were cancerous. However, this is just what I'm assuming. I don't think the press release gave any such details. But it wouldn't seem like a very controlled experiment to me if they were given 7 samples which they knew to be cancerous, and then miraculously determined that all 7 were indeed cancerous.
