The Leading Authority on Oligometastatic Cancer

As an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, UChicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center has been recognized by the National Cancer Institute for providing innovative research and treatments. Unlike other centers that do not routinely treat metastatic cancer with a curative intent, our radiation oncology team has unrivaled experience delivering radiation to multiple tumor sites simultaneously while sparing healthy tissue. Our team has also pioneered the use of a type of advanced radiation called stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for treating oligometastatic cancer and is leading national trials in this area.
Our surgical oncologists are highly skilled in using innovative surgical approaches and techniques to provide the best possible outcomes for patients with cancer that has metastasized to difficult-to-treat sites, including the liver, lung, brain and peritoneum. Additionally, our medical oncologists have the experience needed to build a personalized plan with the latest chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy drugs that offer the best chance of success against metastatic cancer.
A Top Center for Metastatic Cancer Research
UChicago Medicine is home to the Ludwig Center for Metastasis Research, where a team of experts from various disciplines use the latest approaches to better understand how cancer spreads. Our researchers were also the one of the first to identify which patients with metastatic cancer are most likely to achieve long-term survival based on the biological characteristics of their disease.Today, researchers at UChicago Medicine continue to study the biological makeup of metastatic cancers, with the goal of offering even better treatments for this disease.
