サマリー
あらすじ・解説
In this episode, Camilla and Kiruthikah are joined by Dr Sreelakshmi Kotha, a consultant gastroenterologist, to discuss the management of pancreatic cancer complications, specifically jaundice and blockages in the bile ducts and small bowel.
We cover:
- why jaundice occurs and how gastroenterologists can help manage it
- managing blockages in the bile ducts and small bowel, the procedure involved (ERCP) and the use of stents
- potential risks and benefits of these procedures and how they can help improve quality of life.
Sree emphasises that while these procedures can sound complex and daunting, they are performed by highly specialist teams to offer people with pancreatic cancer the best outcomes and continue their treatment.
