Since her appointment as a consultant in 2016, she has dedicated her practice to caring for patients with urological cancers,providing expert diagnosis, personalised treatment planning, advancedradiotherapy and specialist second opinions.
Dr Rodda completed her specialist Clinical Oncology training within the Yorkshire Deanery before undertaking an advanced fellowship in Prostate Brachytherapy at the internationally renowned BC Cancer Agency, Vancouver, Canada. During her fellowship, she developed advanced expertise in prostate brachytherapy, treating patients with localised and advanced prostate cancer using the latest radiotherapy techniques.
She is recognised for her expertise in prostate brachytherapy, MRI-guided radiotherapy, stereotactic radiotherapy (SABR/SBRT) and precision cancer treatment. Dr Rodda has published extensively in peer-reviewed medical journals, particularly in the field of Prostate brachytherapy, reflecting her commitment to advancing treatment
and improving outcomes for patients with urological cancers.
Dr Rodda cares for patients with newly diagnosed, recurrent and advanced prostate,
bladder and kidney cancers, working closely with multidisciplinary teams to develop personalised treatment plans based on the latest clinical evidence and each patient's individual needs and priorities.
Her expertise includes External Beam Radiotherapy (EBRT), MRI-guided adaptive radiotherapy (MR Linac), MRI-guided Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (MRI-guided SABR), Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT/SABR), Renal SABR, Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT), Image-Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT), High-Dose-Rate (HDR) and Low-Dose-Rate (LDR) prostate brachytherapy, chemotherapy, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), and personalised systemic cancer treatments.
Patients value Dr Rodda for her calm, approachable and compassionate manner. She believes that every patient deserves the time to understand their diagnosis, ask questions and feel confident in their treatment decisions. By combining advanced technology with clear communication and personalised care, she aims to achieve the best possible outcomes while supporting patients and their families throughout every stage of their cancer journey.
FAQ's
FAQ 1: What is MRI-guided adaptive radiotherapy, and how does it benefit prostate cancer patien
Answer:
Unlike traditional radiotherapy, which uses historical imaging to plan treatment, MRI-guided adaptive radiotherapy reshapes the radiation beam during your actual session. Because the prostate moves naturally due to internal changes (like bladder filling), this technology scans you in real-time. It allows me to adjust the target mid-session, focusing the maximum dose directly onto the tumor while aggressively sparing the surrounding healthy bowel and bladder tissue. This significantly lowers the risk of long-term side effects.
FAQ 2: What is the difference between SABR and standard radiotherapy for prostate cance
Answer:
SABR (Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy) is an ultra-precise technique that delivers highly concentrated, high-dose radiation directly to the tumor. The primary difference for the patient is time and convenience. Standard radiotherapy can require daily hospital visits for up to several weeks. SABR condenses your entire treatment course into just 5 visits, typically spaced out over a week or two, allowing you to maintain your normal routine with minimal disruption.
FAQ 3: Am I a candidate for prostate brachytherapy alongside external radiation?
Answer:
Prostate brachytherapy (internal radiation) is an exceptional option for specific risk categories of prostate cancer. It is often combined with external beam radiotherapy to deliver a highly localized "boost" of radiation directly inside the prostate gland. Candidacy depends on your specific tumor stage, PSA levels, Gleason score, and prostate volume. During our initial consultation, we will review your diagnostics together to determine if a combined protocol offers you the highest cure rate.
FAQ 4: Will radiotherapy or SABR for prostate cancer affect my sexual function or cause incontinence?
Answer:
Minimising side effects is a core priority of modern, advanced radiotherapy. Because techniques like SABR and MRI-guided radiotherapy are incredibly precise, we can keep radiation exposure to the nerves governing erectile function and the muscles controlling the bladder to an absolute minimum. While some temporary changes can occur, the risk of long-term urinary incontinence or permanent erectile dysfunction is substantially lower than it was with older radiation techniques or traditional radical surgery.
FAQ 5: How do I know if my prostate radiotherapy has been successful?
Answer:
Success is monitored primarily through regular PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood testsfollowing your treatment. Unlike surgery, where PSA drops to zero instantly, radiation destroys cancer cells gradually. Your PSA levels will typically drop over several months, eventually reaching a low, stable point known as the "nadir." We will schedule structured follow-up appointments every few months to track this downward trend and ensure your recovery is progressing perfectly.

Being diagnosed with high risk prostate cancer was a shock. After speaking to and making the decision to have brachytherapy and radiotherapy under the care of Dr. Rodda and the team at Bexley wing St. James’s hospital Leeds I have been very happy with care and treatment I have received. Dr. Rodda was always very kind and sensitive when discussing this difficult, often embarrassing condition. She explained things very clearly and offered advice and suggestions when needed. She was very reassuring and supportive.

Thanks for your feedback, appreciate it !
Dr Rodda consistently demonstrates a rare blend of strong professional skills with a supportive and realistic approach to cancer care.

Thanks for your feedback, appreciate it !
I've had appointments with Dr Rodda to review progress on my cancer treatment several times now. On each occasion Dr Rodda has shown a clear concern and interest in my feelings about the treatment, its side-effects and how these affect me personally. The sessions are unhurried, informal and fully explained. I never feel any time pressure or that I am "just another patient".

Thanks for your feedback, appreciate it!
Lovely Lady, very caring and thorough, explained the whole process and answered my questions. Involved my wife in the process too. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks for your feedback, appreciate it!
I was assigned to Dr Rodda in February 2026 following a high PSA test and subsequent Prostate cancer diagnosis. Dr Rodda is very amenable human being first and foremost, which is: a) quite rare when dealing with clinicians at that level, and b) exactly what you need when you are struggling with a worrying diagnosis and unknown future. You only need to look on Google to see her professional capability, but it’s her personable human touch that is so valuable at a time like this. She articulated the situation, the treatment and potential prognosis in a way that a “panicking lay person” can understand and absorb. During my treatment I re read a letter that Dr Rodda had sent to my GP. A couple of details within the letter I did not fully understand and felt concerned enough to call Dr Roddas office. Dr Rodda called me back within 15 minutes!! Then proceeded to explain the details I had not fully understood. Thats a service one would struggle to achieve in the private sector. A quick word about the wider cancer care community is also notable. The care and professionalism at Bexley Wing, where I received my Radiotherapy treatment was exemplary. Nothing was too much trouble, I was always seen on time, there is a bank of nurses and registrars available for side effect management. The radiographers deserve a medal, they are very busy, but always engage in a friendly, empathetic manner. On my last day of Radiotherapy, even the receptionist took the time to acknowledge it by saying “so it was your last session today, good luck to you Mark.” That meant a lot. In summary if circumstances...

Thanks a lot for your kind feedback, appreciate it !
I was aware of Dr Sree Rodda’s clinical oncology knowledge and expertise in using the latest technologies but did not expect someone with such an easy manner and ability to make you feel relaxed and comfortable as soon as you meet her. Detailed explanations of treatments including what to expect afterwards were provided with care and empathy whilst actively encouraging questions and discussion to ensure I had understood everything clearly, making me feel very much part of the process of choosing the best treatment options. Her self-assurance and fully justified confidence are an absolute tonic, and I am completely confident that, whatever the future holds, treatment under the care and skill of Dr Rodda and her team will give me the best possible outcome.

Thanks for your feedback, appreciate it !
After being diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in November 2025 my wife and I first met Dr Rodda in January 2026. Straight away we both found he calming, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Dr Rodda explained everything precise, and clear showing us both my scans, and what treatment going forward I could have. There were two options Brachytherapy/Radiotherapy or Radiotherapy on its own. Although we did ask Dr Rodda her opinion on the best treatment at the end of the day it was my choice. I am so glad I chose the Brachytherapy/Radiotherapy a one off procedure followed by three weeks of Radiotherapy. All the treatment I received from start to finish went really well and all the people involved in my treatment were amazing! Dr Rodda kept in touch with me all the way through my treatment, and I always felt if I ever needed any help or advice she was more than happy to give this and was easy to contact through her friendly Secretary. I would just like to finish by thanking Dr Rodda and her wonderful team not forgetting all the other people involved in my care at St James Hospital. My myself, family, and friends owe you all such a huge amount of gratitude! You are all amazing individuals. Mick H. and family.

Thanks for your feedback Mick, appreciate it!
From the first time I met Dr Rodda I felt reassured and confident in her professional and personable care during a very uncertain and stressful time. She is a very experienced and knowledgeable medical professional. He explanations are clear clinically and yet easily understandable to a lay person like me. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend her as a oncologist of choice for those who need cancer treatment.

Thanks for the review, appreciate it!
Dr Rodda, is happy to discuss options and help one come to an agreed way forward taking into consideration my input and exploring treatment options.
