Dr. Andrea Madrigrano is a general surgeon with an expertise in breast cancer at the Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.  Dr. Madrigrano shines a light on how hospitals have determined what are non-essential surgeries in these times of the COVID virus, how women are dealing with delayed surgeries related to their breast cancer, alternative therapies that are buying some time for women while they wait for restrictions to lift, and the opportunity for research comparing results from current innovations with more traditional approaches.
