At 25, Robert was diagnosed with an inoperable glioma, affecting his speech and memory. Despite regular treatment, the tumor grew, prompting doctors to try a novel approach: injecting a modified herpes simplex virus into his brain. This virus, altered to attack only cancer cells, aimed to halt tumor growth. The trial extended Robert's life by 12 years, marking a significant advancement in cancer treatment. Although Robert passed away in 2008, his trial paved the way for further research and benefited future patients.
