Seattle Cancer Care Alliance doctors treat all blood disorders, whether malignant or benign including aplastic anemia, hemolytic anemia, essential thrombocytosis, hypereosinophillic syndrome, myelofibrosis, and myelprolifeartive disorders. Many blood disorders are rare and there is little information on how to get treatment for them. SCCA was formed, in part, to bring promising new treatments to patients faster. This means that people with blood disorders will find more treatment options at SCCA than might be found elsewhere, including participation in one of the clinical trials conducted at SCCA and its parent organizations, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and UW Medicine. If your condition is one that requires a bone-marrow transplant, be sure to visit the Bone-Marrow Transplant section.
