An Australian doctor who was given a terminal brain cancer diagnosis about a year ago has gone into remission after using his own groundbreaking melanoma research to treat his tumor.
Richard Scolyer, who is an associate professor at the University of Sydney, said he “couldn’t be happier” after an MRI scan last Thursday showed no signs of his glioblastoma.
“Couldn’t be happier!!!! Thanks to the fabulous team looking after me so well especially my wife Katie & wonderful family!” he wrote on social media platform X (Twitter) on Monday.
I had brain #MRI scan last Thursday looking for recurrent #glioblastoma (&/or treatment complications). I found out yesterday that there is still no sign of recurrence. I couldn’t be happier!!!!!

The doctor, who won Australian of the Year with his colleague Georgina Long, was diagnosed in June last year after suffering a seizure in Poland. Scolyer became the first brain cancer patient in the world to receive pre-operative combination immunotherapy, using the basis of his own groundbreaking melanoma research on himself.
“We have shown that it is possible to switch on the immune system and this is now a really critical first step in changing the landscape of how we explore medicines in brain cancer,” he told Sky News.
