From Patient to Researcher: Professor Jarad Martin on Radiation Therapy and Dupuytren’s

Professor Jarad Martin — radiation oncologist, researcher, and fellow Dupuytren’s patient — joins the Hands of Change Podcast to share his unique perspective as both clinician and patient. Based at GenesisCare and Calvary Mater Newcastle in New South Wales, Australia, Dr. Martin discusses his personal journey with Dupuytren’s disease, the role of radiation therapy, and the importance of multi‑disciplinary care. We explore the DEPART study, treatment approaches for Dupuytren’s and Ledderhose disease, and the value of dialogue and expectation‑setting in patient engagement. This episode offers insights that bridge science, medicine, and lived experience.
