The cancer center is located in a 10,000-square-foot office that will also house Swedish’s Chicago Back Institute, which offers advanced neurosurgery procedures.

Swedish opened the center through a joint venture with cancer center developer Accelitech and approximately 20 physicians, according to the report.
