In this episode, Camilla and Kiruthikah are joined by genetics counsellor Maddie Gale to explore the role of inherited genetic changes in pancreatic cancer and what they can mean for patients and their families.


We’ll cover:

  • what genes are and how changes in them can sometimes increase the risk of cancer
  • what happens at a genetics appointment, including how testing works and what the results can tell us
  • how results might affect family members and what support is available for them.


This episode explains how genetic testing works in a clear and reassuring way, and how it can help people with pancreatic cancer and their families.
