Professor Price was recently featured on The Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence Podcast from St John’s Chambers, offering a unique opportunity to educate those handling medico-legal cases about how cancer is diagnosed, measured, and managed by medical professionals today.
Dr Rachel Segal served as the interviewer, guiding the conversation expertly so the content would be easy to understand. For this reason, episodes were broken down into three parts: diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.
We encourage anyone interested to listen to the series. Each episode is linked below.
Diagnosis
When I started practising as a consultant thirty-five years ago, we had a limited number of diagnoses and a limited number of treatments. And in some ways, we could provide all of this. But now there’s been an explosion, which is great, with new treatments and diagnoses, and the NHS is struggling to keep up with all of them and fund them and get them organised.

Prognosis
For an individual patient, we want to know their prognosis, and we want to know their treatment. And in medico-legal cases, we’re interested in prognosis, obviously, and we’re interested to know whether any delay or different treatment would make any difference.

Treatment
If we know enough about the individual patient and we’ve got enough literature. We can give a pretty good guide as to what we think is going to happen and what’s in their best interest.
