XavierStrong: Interview with Scientist Dad, Phil Tan
Update: 2023-06-09
Description
Phil Tan, pharmaceutical industry scientist from San Diego, shares the story of his son Xavier who was diagnosed with diffuse midline glioma (DMG), and the devastating effects of this diagnosis for the whole family. Brain cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children in the United States while cures continue to elude this inadequately funded area of cancer research. Phil, Xavier and the rest of his family sacrificed precious time during their fight to keep him alive to provide a window of insight for the public, as the causes and conditions of childhood brain cancer remain a mystery. The Tan family resorted to alternative, lesser known therapies to create a more effective treatment program for him, while forging new pathways to accessing drugs like ONC201.
