Breast Cancer

Overview

As a patient at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, you will receive state-of-the-art treatments from some of the world’s leading physicians. Your team of doctors will include a breast oncologist, radiologist, and surgeon -- all specialists who focus exclusively on treating women with breast cancer and nothing else.

 

Cancer treatment is changing rapidly and SCCA offers the latest and best treatments, including chemotherapy regimens that are easier to tolerate and surgical procedures that are less invasive.

 

SCCA was formed, in part, to bring promising new treatments to patients faster. For you, this means more treatment options at SCCA than might be found elsewhere, including participation in one of many ongoing clinical research studies conducted at SCCA and its  parent organizations, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and UW Medicine.
