Dr. Richard Scolyer, an Australian scientist, was diagnosed with brain cancer. According to reports, he successfully treated himself using his own research and announced that he has defeated cancer. His remarkable journey serves as an inspiration, highlighting the potential of self-developed methods in fighting against challenging medical conditions like brain cancer. 👇
Cancer is one of the most common and deadly diseases globally and in our country. A definitive cure for cancer is yet to be discovered. However, cancer patients are succeeding in overcoming cancer through various treatments.
According to reports, upon receiving the cancer diagnosis, Dr. Scolyer had been conducting trials of immunotherapy drugs designed to stimulate the body's immune system to fight melanoma, a type of cancer, since 2009.
This treatment was expected to prompt our immune system to fight against cancer. Indeed, these efforts have increased the lifespan of cancer patients from 10% to 50%.
In a statement from the University of Sydney, it was announced, 'Pioneers in melanoma treatment, Professors Georgina Long and Richard Scolyer, were named Australians of the Year for their revolutionary approach to melanoma treatment using immunotherapy.'
In the latest scans, it was announced that the cancer did not recur. Scolyer shared the good news in a post, stating, 'I had an MRI scan for glioblastoma recurrence last Thursday. Yesterday, I learned that there are still no signs of recurrence. I couldn't be happier.'
