Overview
At SCCA, you’ll be cared for by a world-class team of doctors that specializes in the treatment of lung cancer. We offer the most advanced diagnostic, treatment, and recovery programs available. By using minimally invasive procedures such as video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), advanced chemotherapy treatments, and targeted radiation therapy, we strive to give our patients the highest possible quality of life during treatment. And to help you and your family deal with the emotional and practical issues surrounding your diagnosis, we offer extensive support and will guide you through the various treatment options available.
SCCA was formed, in part, to bring promising new treatments to patients faster. This means that people who have lung cancer will find more treatment options at SCCA than might be found elsewhere, including participation in one of the clinical research studies conducted at SCCA and its parent organizations, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and UW Medicine.
