    So at least for those who are triple negative, we may discover that diamonds really are a girl's best friend!  Smile

    I wonder if only for those who are triple negative? The nanodiamonds are targeted toward the epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2). Shouldn't it (theoretically) work for anyone who is HER2 negative? I am particularly thinking the nanodiamond technique might reduce side effects when Epirubicin is used to treat Stage IV cancers.
