Featured Program

The WNPR Health Forum is a radio show about... your health! Each Sunday evening at 6 PM, WNPR is proud to offer our listeners dedicated programming on health issues that matter to you. The hour begins with Yale Cancer Center Answers, a 30 minute program focused on cancer treatment and care hosted by Yale Cancer Center. We dedicate the second 30 minutes of the Health Forum to general health topics through NPR's The Health Show.

Using interviews with some of the leading minds in medicine, we cover cancer related topics each week with "Yale Cancer Center Answers", and general medicine with our friends from "The Health Show."

Yale Cancer Center is proud to announce a weekly radio show on WNPR - Connecticut Public Radio, Yale Cancer Center Answers. The radio program airs from 6:00 - 6:30 PM every Sunday evening and features the latest information on cancer care. Visit them online at: www.yalecancercenter.org/answers

Dr. Edward Chu, Bruce Barber, and Dr. Ken MillerCancer Answers is co-hosted by Dr. Edward Chu, Deputy Director and Chief of Medical Oncology at Yale Cancer Center, and Dr. Ken Miller, Director of the Connecticut Challenge Survivorship Clinic at the Center. Each week they are joined by a different cancer specialist, bringing the innovation and expertise of Yale Cancer Center to all of Connecticut.

"Cancer Answers was created to provide patients and their families with help and hope to sustain them in their fight against cancer," Dr. Miller explained. "The help comes from experts at Yale Cancer Center who are working to develop new and better treatments. The hope comes from our doctors, nurses, and staff whose knowledge and compassion are helping to win the battle against cancer, one patient at a time."

Myths, facts and advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment are discussed, with a different focus each week. Nationally acclaimed specialists in various types of cancer research, diagnosis, and treatment discuss common misconceptions about the disease and respond to questions from the community.

"A central component of Yale Cancer Center's mission is education and outreach to the residents in the State," said Dr. Richard L. Edelson, Director of Yale Cancer Center. "The weekly radio broadcast of Cancer Answers on WNPR provides a unique resource for cancer patients and their families to learn about the latest clinical advances available to them. We are extremely pleased to be able to offer this new program and bring hope to so many of our neighbors."
