Advances in cancer treatment are improving survival rates and quality of life for patients, but new trends — including rising cancer rates among younger people — are reshaping how doctors approach care, a local oncologist said during a recent podcast interview.

Based out of The Dalles, the CCCNews Pod-Honest Local News for the Mid Columbia, Listeners Edition is a community conversation first and a news report second. This isn't about distant headlines; it's the sound of our own backyard. Each episode digs into the honest, relevant, and positively focused stories that define life across the Mid-Columbia region, from Hood River to Goldendale and the towns in between. You'll hear directly from the journalists uncovering these stories, alongside invited guests and local storytellers who add depth, perspective, and sometimes a needed dose of comedy and commentary. The tone is conversational, the focus is local, and the goal is simple: to tell the stories that connect us. It’s a podcast built on the belief that understanding our neighbors and the issues right outside our doors is what truly brings a community closer together. Tune in for a regular dose of what’s happening, who’s making it happen, and why it matters to the place we all call home.
