Scientists have found a window of opportunity to attack aggressive brain cancer with chemotherapy. It comes after Scottish swimmer Archie Goodburn made an emotional plea to Prime Minister Andy Burnham to establish a national brain cancer lead. The 25-year-old, who was diagnosed with brain cancer when he was 22, described how trials around the world are not being seen in the UK which is “unfair and unjust”. “The Brain Tumour Charity funds translational research including multiple studies looking at how to overcome the drug delivery hurdle. We are also proud to support the EPIC-GB clinical study which assesses which drugs can cross the blood brain barrier in patients.”
