Spilling the RT

Radiation therapy plays a vital role in cancer treatment, with more than half of all people with the disease requiring it as part of their care. So why are only 36 percent of patients receiving it in the UK?
 
In this episode, Prof. Pat Price, Clinical Oncologist, founder and chair of Radiotherapy UK, chair and co-founder of the #catchupwithcancer campaign and co-founder of the Global Coalition for Radiotherapy, shares what drives her in the relentless advocacy for the role of radiotherapy in cancer care, and why raising its profile is essential to ensuring access for those who need it most.
