Bladder Cancer: More Common Than You Think
Bladder cancer is one of the 10 most common cancers in the U.S. On top of that, it can be difficult to diagnose. But it also has some very clear causes — which means there are real steps you can take to reduce your risk. On this episode of Health Matters, we talk with urologist Dr. Timothy Lyon about the surprising connection between the bladder and the lungs, cutting-edge treatments like incision-free surgery, and what you can do today to keep your bladder healthy for years to come.

Ow, My Back!
Back pain has a way of stopping life in its tracks.

In this episode of Health Matters, we talk with physiatrist Dr. Nick Canzanello about why back pain happens, when it may be serious, and what you can do to prevent it in the first place.

Lung Cancer: Should You Get Screened?
Lung cancer currently accounts for about one in five cancer deaths. But only a fraction of people who are eligible for lung cancer screening are getting screened. So why aren’t more people getting screened? On this episode of Health Matters, we talk with pulmonologist Dr. Brett Bade and oncologist Dr. Konstantinos Leventakos. They’re part of a team delivering cutting-edge lung cancer care, and they share more about screening, treatment and what gives them hope for the future. Sign up to receive Mayo Clinic Press emails.

When Doctors Do Improv: Arts in Medicine Part 2
What if your doctor prescribed a poem? What if the surgeon removing your tumor took an improv class?

Can Art Heal Us?: Arts in Medicine Part 1
Art feeds the soul — but can it also help the body heal? Mayo Clinic’s Arts at the Bedside program is exploring exactly that. On this episode of Health Matters, we’re joined by artist Robin Anderson, who brings creativity directly to patients’ bedsides, and patient-turned-artist Katie White, who left Mayo Clinic with not just a new heart, but a new creative passion. Together, they share how art can offer comfort, connection and even a sense of control during some of life’s most challenging moments — and why creativity may play a meaningful role in the healing process.

Are GLP-1s Everything We Hoped For?
If the past year has shown us anything, it’s that GLP-1s are here to stay. But as time passes, we’re also learning more about them — from new uses to new side effects to unexpected cultural trends. So have these drugs really lived up to the promise of easy weight loss? On this episode of Health Matters, Mayo Clinic dietitian Tara Schmidt rejoins us — one year after our original GLP-1 episode — to talk about what we’ve learned so far, what’s surprised researchers and patients, and what questions still need answers.

Why is Cancer So Hard to Cure?
Curing cancer is often talked about as a pie-in-the-sky goal. Given how difficult cancer can be to detect — let alone treat — a cure can sometimes feel out of reach. But what if a real cure for many types of cancer is closer than we think — perhaps just a decade away? On this episode of Health Matters, oncologist Dr. Tanios Bekaii-Saab joins us to explain what makes cancer so challenging to cure, how we are treating it today, and what is giving him real hope for the future.
