Lead author Dean Ho, a biomedical engineer at Northwestern University in
Evanston, Illinois, says that one of the major challenges in chemotherapy is
when tumor cells develop mechanisms to pump drugs right back out.

June Robinson, M.D., professor at the Feinberg School of Medicine, comments
on the dangers of tanning beds.

“For brain tumors, radiation has always been part of the treatment,” although
doctors are using more chemotherapy now than they have in the past, said Dr.
Jason Fangusaro, a pediatrician at Children’s Memorial Hospital and
Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago,
Illinois.

“What he’s doing is a good thing,” said Dr. Charles Weingarten, an ENT in
private practice for 41 years and assistant clinical professor at Northwestern
University’s Feinberg School of Medicine.

“Our results show the nanodiamond’s enormous translational potential towards
significantly improving the efficacy of drug-resistant cancer treatment and
simultaneously improving safety,” said lead researcher Dr Dean Ho, from
Northwestern University in Chicago.

Michael Fleming, one of the study’s lead authors and a professor at
Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, said more university
health centers should conduct comprehensive screenings of all visitors to more
accurately assess how many may be at risk of depression.

Northwestern Memorial Hospital neurosurgeon Hunt Batjer believes the sensor
is no replacement for real-life medical attention. Because it’s only in one
location, and doesn’t go directly on the head itself, Dr. Batjer says
relying on it could be tricky.
