Steven Stefanidis , 36 , was diagnosed with an incurable form of brain cancer in December 2020 .
Gliomas are difficult to treat and often progress to more aggressive forms of cancer.
A new oral medication called Voranigo has been shown to target brain tumours, and in Phase 3 clinical trials, to “significantly” slow their growth.
It is Canada ’s first oral targeted treatment for brain cancer.
Stefanidis said he takes it once every morning , similar to a multivitamin, and keeps track of it in his diary for dosage and time.
“I just recently had my first vacation in July of this year , and it felt amazing just to get out there. And that’s another thing about this medication. I’m able to carry this with me wherever I go and use it as like a mobile treatment,” he said.
