Breast Cancer Specialty Center

Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and its parent organizations, UW Medicine, and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, have brought together a world-class team of breast cancer experts who focus exclusively on treating women with breast cancer, who provide compassionate, individualized care as well as access to new treatments and procedures.

If you have been newly diagnosed with breast cancer, during your first appointment at the Breast Cancer Specialty Center, you will meet with a team of breast cancer specialists that includes experts in breast cancer surgery, radiation oncology, and medical oncology.
 
This team will work with you throughout your diagnosis and treatment to determine the best treatment plan for you—one that takes into account the type of breast cancer you have, your values, beliefs, and lifestyle.

During your first visit you will meet with one or more of these doctors, depending on the type of treatment you are considering. Because our doctors conduct leading-edge breast cancer research as well as treat patients, you can be sure that you will be offered the most promising new treatments available.

In addition to doctors who are specialists in various types of breast cancer care, you will have the support of registered nurses, patient care coordinators, social workers, chaplains, psychiatrists, psychologists, and others.

The Breast Cancer Specialty Center is part of the Women’s Center at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, on the third floor.
