Thanks to expert University of Chicago physicians and advanced MRI imaging techniques, Debbie Bricker's breast cancer was detected at an early stage and treated successfully.
Video transcript:
Bricker: I was told, at another institution, that I had a normal reading--no sign of cancer. Debbie Bricker chose the University of Chicago Hospitals when she learned of our advanced breast cancer detection using new MRI technology.
Bricker: I had the MRI, and I was diagnosed with early breast cancer. Our doctors use a unique team approach that helps them develop an individualized treatment
plan for each patient.
Dr. Newstead: We develop new techniques and protocols and make them available sooner than would be the case in a standard hospital.
We are leading the way in cancer research and treatment options including new, cancer-fighting drugs not generally available elsewhere.
Bricker: They could identify early breast cancer in me and treat it so quickly, when it hadn't even been diagnosed anywhere else before.
Only one hospitals cancer care has ranked highest in Illinois for 10 years in a row.
Bricker: Compassion, the conferencing approach, and the speed with which we could eliminate my breast cancer were really unique experiences--really wonderful.
