Episode Details

Australian scientists are developing a breakthrough treatment for brain cancer that uses a medical 'Trojan horse' approach to bypass the blood-brain barrier. The technique disguises cancer-killing drugs to follow the same pathway that carries iron into the brain, potentially reaching tumours that current treatments cannot access. The world-first project, backed by Carrie Bickmore's charity, aims to have a treatment ready for clinical trials within six to ten years.
