Comprehensive Care

provide you with additional medical services, especially if you are not under the care of a local doctor or hospital. UW
Medicine’s Northwest Hospital & Medical Center is conveniently located next to the Center. Seattle Children’s Hospital
addresses the needs of pediatric patients.
About Seattle Cancer Care Alliance
Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) is a cancer treatment center that unites
doctors from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, UW Medicine, and Seattle
Children’s. Our goal, every day, is to turn cancer patients into cancer survivors.
Our purpose is to lead the world in the prevention and treatment of cancer.
At SCCA over 300 oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, and other
clinicians treat thousands of patients for many types of cancers including
leukemia, lymphoma, breast, prostate, lung, and colon cancer. SCCA patients
have access to the latest cancer treatments including stem cell and bone
marrow transplantation, gene therapy, high-dose chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, minimally invasive
surgical techniques, and other specialized therapies.
SCCA patients may be seen at the SCCA outpatient clinic on Lake Union or at UW Medical Center. Pediatric patients
may be seen at the SCCA outpatient clinic and Seattle Children’s. If overnight hospital stays are necessary, adult
patients go to UW Medical Center and pediatric patients go to Seattle Children’s.
