The Cancer Report, a 30-minute local television program presented by Memorial Medical Center's Cancer Services is hosted by David Shiba, M.D., Medical Oncologist and Medical Director of Memorial's Cancer Services.

The Cancer Report's purpose is to raise the awareness of cancer prevention, early detection, and report on medical breakthroughs in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Programs also feature local and national cancer-related organizations and highlight their services.

Each program includes a survivor story. Whether the story is from a cancer survivor or their caregiver, these stories are full of hope and encouragement that you can live through and beyond a diagnosis of cancer.

In 2005, The Cancer Report was the recipient of a Telly Award, honoring outstanding local, regional and cable television and commercials and programs, as well as the finest video and film productions. The same year, The Cancer Report earned a Digital Video Award, an exciting international competition celebrating outstanding creative and technical achievements in the emerging world of digital video production.

The Cancer Report has also been recognized in 2003 and 2004 by the American Cancer Society, locally, in 2005 regionally and in 2006 by the California Division, Inc. with a Collaboration Award. In 2007, the American Cancer Society presented The Cancer Report with the "Caring Through Communications" award for helping fight cancer by raising awareness and spreading the message of hope in our community.
