  • The phase one clinical trials using gold nanoshell thermal ablation therapy for head and neck cancer started in 2008 and is ongoing. There have been hundreds of publications on gold nanoshells in the past 5 years. Developing new cancer therapies takes a long time and is very expensive. Going from animal studies to human studies is a great advancement.

  • If these work so well, why did we lose the richest cancer patient in the world (Steve Jobs)? I'm very disgusted that it has been 8 years since the 2003 nanoshell cancer mice trials and I cannot find any new information about it. Was the "100%" success rate of the mice trials exaggerated? Is medical progress extremely slow or is big-pharma holding the technology back? I want some answers. The silence (lack of new nanoshell articles since 2005) is deafening.

  • Lol I want that laser setup. I want you too, for 10 minutes then I'll be ok.

  • They sell them at Chuck E Cheese. Their sausage and nanoshell pizzas are especially good.

  • There's a Dr. Emily Day (Psychologist) in NYC as well. She is quite good. ;-)

  • Im Emily Day too lol

  • im emily day tooooo.
