Don't see how this pays off. Hard to imagine nanodiamonds being added to someone's body if there is not an unusual risk. If there is an unusual risk it's worth doing blood and tissue work. What scenario am I missing?

- mbreese 12y agoBecause you don't treat someone for a disease that they haven't been diagnosed for. The idea that you'd prophylactically give someone these nanodiamonds is a big stretch at this point... especially when the PR is that "It’s like having a flashlight inside your body that basically lasts forever." You really want to have a method for turning off the flashlight when you don't need it. Now, if you have a patient that has been already diagnosed with cancer, and the nanodiamonds are used to monitor tumor progression or watch for metastasis, then that's a different story. Note: these aren't the same as vaccines, since cancer isn't a communicable disease (largely).
