UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham invites Scottish swimmer Archie Goodburn, diagnosed with inoperable brain tumors, to discuss increased funding for brain cancer research after Goodburn's emotional plea on BBC Breakfast.
Archie Goodburn, a 24-year-old swimmer diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer, is urging the UK government to increase funding for brain tumor research and patient access to new treatments. Despite recent success with a new drug, Vorasidenib, he highlights the "translational gap" and calls for immediate release of pledged funds and better government support.
