There are a lot of cancers vying for our attention. Each one needs to be detected early and every one can be deadly. On this week's Health Show we’ll spend some time talking about Kidney Cancer with one of the country’s leading doctors in the field and a woman who survived a diagnosis. Then we’ll head to New Orleans and visit a clinic that serves that city’s many musicians. And we’ll open up the classroom for one more session of Health Reform School.

KIDNEY CANCER - NEW CHOICES
Nearly 50 thousand Americans found out they had kidney cancer last year...and 11 thousand didn’t make it. Here to talk about this serious disease is Sarah Wise Miller, Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Kidney Cancer Association and a kidney cancer survivor. With her today is Doctor Sanjiv Agarwala, Chief of Oncology and Hematology at St. Luke's Cancer Center in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and as kidney cancer specialist.
The New Orleans Musician's Clinic
During the past year there has been a lot of talk about universal and affordable health care. But some people in New Orleans have been working on that for a while now. Most of the working musicians in New Orleans make so little money they can’t afford health care. The World Vision Report’s Lisa Morehouse found out there’s an organization trying to do something about that. It’s called the New Orleans Musicians Clinic.
Reform School - 5: The Final Session
It took over a year and it wasn’t always pretty...but the president has signed health insurance reform into law. Joining us once again for our final session of Reform School is Timothy Hoff, a professor of health policy and management at the University at Albany School of Public Health in Albany, New York. Tim is also the author of the book Practice Under Pressure - Primary Care Physicians And Their Medicine in the Twenty First Century.
