Cancer. It’s a word no woman wants to hear. But one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer in her lifetime. In Illinois, around 12,340 women are projected to be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 4,000 with a gynecologic cancer in 2026. Cancer, especially those unique to women, may pose physical and emotional challenges. The disease may develop in your breasts or your reproductive organs, creating challenges and concerns about fertility, sexual health and self-image.
At City of Hope Chicago, we recognize the distinct challenges posed by cancers that affect women. That’s why we created the Women’s Cancer Center at City of Hope Chicago. Our experienced oncologists and clinicians are singularly focused on screening, diagnosing and treating breast cancer and gynecologic cancers with a sense of urgency. Our supportive care services are designed to help address symptoms and side effects, to help you have the strength and stamina to continue your treatment and the quality of life to help you continue everyday activities throughout your cancer journey.
Why wait? The Women’s Cancer Center can schedule your appointment in as little as 24 hours. Treatments may begin within 48 hours of your first visit, and some appointments may be available via telehealth using the our videoconferencing technology. Call us or chat online.
Available 24/7 to discuss treatment options
At the Women’s Cancer Center at City of Hope Chicago, your multidisciplinary team of doctors and clinicians works together every day to deliver the care you need and the care you deserve. We offer cancer screenings, diagnostic evaluations, treatments plans, survivorship and supportive care services, all under one roof.
Our Women’s Cancer Center was developed to focus on cancers unique to women, including:
"Throughout my treatment, I took advantage of the supportive care therapies available, including nutritional support, naturopathic support, pastoral care and other services. Any side effects I faced were addressed. This was important to me because I felt like my beliefs in whole-person care were valued at City of Hope. "
