Netflix The Surgeon’s Cut: Sacred Brain
Sacred Brain is an episode dedicated to Dr Alfredo Quinones-Hinojo. Dr. Q is a surgeon without borders. He and his team in the Brain Tumor Stem Cell Research Laboratory at Mayo Clinic Florida are dedicated to finding a cure for brain cancer.
When he’s not teaching or in the operating room, Dr. Quiñones is in the lab working on his research to try and cure cancer. He believes that there are natural stem cells in the brain that, if put in just the right spot, could halt the spread of cancerous cells in the brain, working more effectively naturally than any surgery or radiation treatment currently in use. There is still a lot of work to be done, but Dr. Quiñones-Hinojosa looks forward to a day when he no longer has to feel like he is entering the brain illegally, and cancer becomes an illness no more troublesome than the common cold.
