Medical oncologist Rita Nanda, MD, specializes in breast cancer and is actively conducting clinical trials of new treatments for breast cancer.

At UChicago Medicine, we target breast cancer using a team approach so each patient receives tailored treatment based on individual needs. Our multidisciplinary breast cancer team considers several factors — stage of the cancer, tumor biology, family medical history and past medical history — when deciding on the best course of treatment for the patient.

Breast Cancer Surgery
When it comes to breast surgery, options matter. We'll help you choose the best surgical approach for your needs.

Chemotherapy and Systemic Therapies for Breast Cancer
We offer a full range of traditional and new systemic therapies, including hormonal and biologic options.

Radiation Therapy for Breast Cancer
UChicago Medicine radiation oncologists are nationally recognized for being among the first to offer new precision treatments.

Breast Reconstruction Surgery
We offer the latest surgical techniques to maintain form and function after breast tumor removal.

Lymphedema Surgery
Lymphedema surgery is an advanced approach to reduce the swelling and discomfort some breast cancer survivors encounter after initial treatment.

Clinical Trials for Breast Cancer
We're actively conducting phase I, II and III clinical trials for breast cancer.
