Summary

Iowa has the second-highest cancer rate in the nation and young people — ages 15-49 — are not being spared. The six leading corn-producing states have a cancer rate for young adults that is about 5% higher than the rest of the nation. Host Charity Nebbe speaks with director of the Iowa Cancer Registry Mary Charlton and two young cancer survivors. (This show was originally produced November 24, 2025.)
