RUSH University System for Health has a high-volume program for breast cancer treatment and reconstruction, incorporating a multidisciplinary approach that involves our plastic surgery, surgical oncology and medical oncology teams. This approach ensures our patients are treated with a coordinated, individualized care plan. RUSH also performs a wide range of leading-edge implant and flap breast reconstruction procedures after mastectomy or lumpectomy.
Rosalinda Alvarado, MD, is a breast surgeon experienced in breast conserving surgery, mastectomy including nipple-sparing mastectomy, oncoplastic surgery, sentinel node biopsy and breast cancer prevention and risk reduction.
Deana Shenaq, MD, specializes in both implant-based and autologous reconstruction after breast cancer and in microvascular techniques for lymphedema treatment, including lymph node transfer and lymphovenous bypass procedures.
“It’s very important that Dr. Alvarado does what she needs to do to get the cancer out safely and have a negative margin,” says Dr. Shenaq. “My main goal is not only to prevent recurrence, but also to do the reconstruction in the most aesthetically pleasing way possible.”
