Radiotherapy (with Dr Kasia Owczarcyzk)

In this episode, Camilla and Kiruthikah are joined by Dr Kasia Owczarczyk, consultant clinical oncologist, to explore the role of radiotherapy in treating pancreatic cancer.

We’ll cover:

• when and why radiotherapy is used, including before or after surgery, or for managing pain and other symptoms
• what happens during radiotherapy, including the planning process, how treatment is delivered, and what side effects to expect
• new developments in radiotherapy, such as stereotactic radiotherapy (SABR), which offers a more focused and shorter treatment course for some patients.

This episode provides a clear and practical guide to what radiotherapy involves, helping people understand what to expect and how it can support them during treatment.
