Prostate Cancer

Overview

At Seattle Cancer Care Alliance men with prostate cancer receive state-of-the-art care from a team of specialists who focus exclusively on treating men with this disease. Cancer treatment is changing rapidly and SCCA offers the latest and best treatments for prostate cancer, including leading-edge radiation therapy approaches, for example  brachytherapy and GPS for the body, and surgical procedures using methods such as nerve grafting and laparoscopic surgery.

 

SCCA was formed, in part, to bring promising new treatments to patients faster. For the prostate cancer patient, 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.
