Overview
From early detection, to accurate staging, and access to the newest treatments through clinical research studies, the lung cancer program at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance is the largest, most experienced in the Pacific Northwest.Lung cancer requires expert physicians and advanced treatments. At SCCA, patients get both. Receiving the best care as soon as possible makes all the difference when you have lung cancer, or are suspected of having lung cancer. Our team of physicians, nurses, and other professionals work together to provide comprehensive, customized treatments for each patient that will maximize their potential for cure with as few side effects as possible.
Because lung cancer is difficult to treat, lung cancer clinical research studies often offer the best therapies. More clinical studies take place here than any where else in the region. What that means is that as a patient, you have access to the newest, best treatments that are 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.
