Cancer Conversations Episode 52
Kentucky has the greatest cancer burden in the country with the highest rates of new cases and deaths occurring in Appalachian Kentucky. The high rates of cancer are caused by health behaviors, such as tobacco use, and economic and social conditions, including poverty and insufficient healthcare infrastructure and access. Behind every cancer case lies individual stories of devastation.
Cancer in Appalachia: A Collection of Youth-Told Stories is an anthology of fictional stories -- short stories and a few poems -- about cancer in Appalachian Kentucky. The stories were written by a group of high school and undergraduate students from Appalachian Kentucky.
