What to Expect

Women who have received a diagnosis of endometrial cancer will be seen initially at the Women’s Center on the third floor of the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance building. In some cases, treatments will also be scheduled at SCCA.

If surgery is required, surgical procedures are performed at UW Medical Center, where you may also have follow-up and/or chemotherapy/radiation treatments, if necessary.

Your doctor or patient care coordinator will clarify the location where you will receive your care.
The doctor who diagnosed your cancer can refer you to the Women’s Center at SCCA, or you may self-refer by calling (206) 288-7222.
