The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics Breast Cancer Care program is composed of a team of highly-trained physicians of different disciplines combined into one center to provide patients with the best cancer care available. The care program our center offers to patients is a complete program which includes diagnosis, treatment, reconstruction and long-term follow-up. Treatments include radiation, medical treatments, surgery, or a combination of these.

The Department of Surgery's Division of Surgical Oncology and Endocrine surgery has a team of surgeons that specialize in breast surgery. The Department of Surgery's Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery also works closely with the Breast Cancer team when needed.
