• Dr. Richard Scolyer, former Australian of the Year and renowned melanoma researcher, has publicly disclosed that his brain tumor has progressed. This update was reported in mid-March 2026 and notes that the glioblastoma is now affecting brain function, though he remains active in advocacy and treatment efforts.[1][2]
