Personalized cancer care in Chicago

Through our cancer care locations in downtown and Lake County, midway between Chicago and Milwaukee, City of Hope® is closing the care gap for patients in and around Chicago, northern Illinois and southeastern Wisconsin. And we’re accelerating speed to specialized care, with immediate access to cancer prevention and screening, appointments in as little as 24 hours, with same-day diagnostics, rapid radiology results in 48 hours and pathology results in a week or less.

Recognized by U.S. News & World Report’s 2023-24 “Best Hospitals” rankings in the treatment of leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma, City of Hope Cancer Center Chicago offers world-class blood cancer care—powered by renowned oncologists like Tulio Rodriguez, MD, director of our Bone Marrow and Cellular Therapy Program, and City of Hope’s coast-to-coast clinical network, with one of the largest and most successful bone marrow transplantation (BMT) programs in the country.

Highly trained experts, including David J. Winchester, MD, FACS, a top-ranked surgical oncologist who has served patients in Illinois’ North Shore communities for three decades, proudly call City of Hope Chicago home. Together, they provide sophisticated, disease-specific surgical care—when and where you need it—from minimally invasive, robotic-assisted procedures to complex reconstructive and plastic surgeries.

Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA) is now City of Hope, joining forces to expand patient access to personalized, comprehensive cancer care.

"I am closer to living the way I want to live now. Work is less of a focus for me, and my beliefs are at the forefront of my mind. I have become very active in my church, and have a close group of friends with whom I share my faith. Before I had cancer, I was going through the motions of life too busy to stop and notice what was going on around me. But going through this time made me stop and slow down and re-prioritize."

Our cancer centers

Teams of experts under one roof, focused on specific cancer types

Speed to specialized care matters when you have cancer. That’s why we created our cancer centers, a high-tech, high-touch care model that arms patients with disease-specific expertise at every point in your cancer journey.

We surround you with specialization. Your center. Your care team. Your personalized treatment plan. All based on your cancer type, all in one location—City of Hope® Chicago—designated as “high performing” for the treatment of leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma in U.S. News & World Report’s 2023-24 “Best Hospitals” rankings and Illinois’ only Certified Quality Breast Center of Excellence, the highest certification level awarded by the National Quality Measures for Breast Centers® program.

Our cancer programs

City of Hope Chicago’s disease-specific focus extends to our intensive clinical programs. You’ll experience next-level specialization—whether your diagnosis is early-stage, rare or complex. That’s why we developed our world-class Stem Cell Transplant Program—powered by highly trained hematologic oncologists who perform both autologous and allogeneic transplants. And it’s what drives our Rapid Lung Nodule Diagnosis Program, where experts accelerate speed to diagnosis—in as few as four days—through artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted tools. Then there’s our High-Risk Breast Cancer Program, featuring genetic counseling, cancer screenings and risk reduction strategies that empower patients at elevated risk to take action to reduce their chances of developing breast cancer.

Beyond our Chicago centers and programs, patients benefit from renowned subspecialists across City of Hope’s coast-to-coast clinical network who collaborate on complex cancers in real time.

Revolutionizing personalized cancer care: That’s our difference

City of Hope is world leader in the delivery of personalized care—pioneering breakthroughs that have led to advances in precision medicine, while charting the path for whole-person supportive care tailored to each patient’s needs and goals.

We’ve made comprehensive, personalized care our mission because we know that cancer is as unique as the person fighting it. How it impacts your body, your health, your emotions, your relationships, your plans for the future—everything that comes with a diagnosis impacts your life in unique ways. At City of Hope, we believe you deserve a team and a care plan that take those factors into account, treating you as an individual with your own hopes, needs, diagnosis and goals.

That means not only treating your cancer with leading-edge tools and technologies while helping you manage the side effects of the disease, but handling the logistics of your journey, so you can focus on healing.
