ED Davey MP on pancreatic cancer
In May we told the story of Charles Czajkowski, one of the few pancreatic cancer patients to have survived beyond six months of diagnosis. Fewer than 7% of patients survive beyond five years of diagnosis.
Challenges face healthcare providers, including a lack of alarm symptoms, but outcomes for this terrible disease have barely improved in decades, despite new drugs becoming available.
For this episode we called on Charles’s member of parliament, to find out what can be done to change survivability for the better, and how an individual can effect change even in the most complex of systems.
