Midwest Orthopaedic at Rush Orthopaedic Oncologists Dr. Walter Virkus and Dr. Steven Gitelis were featured experts in Chicago Tribune and ABC7 News reports explaining how metastatic breast cancer can spread to the bone and treatment options currently available.

Dr. Gitelis appeared as a featured expert in an ABC7 news report on how women respond to treatment for bone cancer stemming from metastatic breast cancer. Dr. Virkus was quoted in a Chicago Tribune article that reviewed treatment options for this type of bone cancer.
