• Dr. Richard Scolyer, an Australian pathologist and co-director of Melanoma Institute Australia, was diagnosed with glioblastoma—a highly aggressive and usually terminal brain cancer. He was given less than a year to live.

    Instead of conventional therapy, he collaborated with his colleague Prof. Georgina Long to create a first-of-its-kind treatment plan involving:

    Combination immunotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant),

    A personalized cancer vaccine tailored to his tumor’s genetic profile.

    These approaches were adapted from their successful melanoma immunotherapy research.

    Outcome:

    Over a year after diagnosis, Scolyer remains cancer-free.

    His case is being closely studied as a potential game-changer in brain cancer treatment, especially for glioblastoma, which usually has a 5% five-year survival rate.

    Caveats:

    The treatment caused serious side effects (seizures, brain swelling).

    It's a single case; long-term remission or cure is not confirmed yet.

    Clinical trials are likely to follow this model soon.
