The Cancer Risk Clinic at the University of Chicago Hospitals is designed for people who may be at increased risk for cancer because of their personal history, family history, medical conditions or lifestyle. The Cancer Risk Clinic team evaluates all of these factors to assess your risk of cancer. We work with individuals and entire families to study the pattern of cancer occurrences. If you are at increased risk, we offer strategies to lower your risk. The cancer program at the University of Chicago Hospitals was ranked fourteenth in the nation and first in Illinois by US News and World Report magazine.
