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.
