A cure for prostate cancer could be just years away after an encouraging world first clinical trial in Brisbane.
Doctors say the new treatment helps them target diseased cells more accurately, with fewer side effects than regular treatments.
Gary Bryant, 75, was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer in 2019.
He began chemotherapy but after years of treatments he started to receive end-of-life care.
“One day the oncologist down the coast just came in and said, ‘Look, I’m sorry, we’re going to stop the chemo because there’s nothing more we can do’,” Gary’s wife Mary Bryant said.
Mr Bryant was then asked to take part in a world-first trial of a new treatment for prostate cancer.
