Rush University Cancer Center is ranked among the top 50 hospitals in the country for cancer care by U.S. News & World Report for 2026-27, and many of its providers are regularly named to Chicago magazine’s “Top Doctors” list. The center holds accreditation from the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons and delivers care through Coleman Foundation Comprehensive Cancer Clinics, where patients meet their full care team in a single visit and cases are reviewed at weekly tumor board meetings dedicated to specific cancers. Clinical trials are available through Rush’s own academic research program, as well as the National Cancer Institute and the Children’s Oncology Group. Rush’s supportive oncology program provides social and emotional support, complementary therapies such as acupuncture and massage, and nutritional and financial counseling alongside treatment. Its breast imaging centers at Rush University Medical Center and Rush South Loop are both designated breast imaging centers of excellence by the American College of Radiology, and the newer South Loop location also offers follow-up care for breast surgery, urologic cancers, plastic and reconstructive surgery, skin cancer and colon cancer surgery. Through a partnership with Houston, Texas-based MD Anderson Cancer Center, RUSH MD Anderson gives Chicago-area patients access to immunotherapies, targeted therapies, minimally invasive surgical options and clinical trials years earlier than they might otherwise become available.
